Why is Lindsey Graham still a United States senator?
The South Carolina Republican cheers for Americans’ involvement with foreign conflicts every chance he gets.
Even if his constituents go through a powerful storm, Graham complains they don’t care enough about war abroad.
While discussing Hurricane Helene with Sean Hannity, Graham moved the conversation to the conflict involving Israel.
Graham showed his contempt and lack of empathy for the people of South Carolina.
“I’ve been going all over South Carolina, like most people I haven’t slept much. But look what’s going on in Israel,” Graham said.
“Our friends in Israel are surrounded by people who want to kill them. Destroy them. Another Holocaust in the making,” he continued.
“We have to help our friends to keep the war over there from coming here,” he added.

Americans living in the southeast are currently in a war zone.
And the federal government has abandoned Hurricane Helene victims.
Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said FEMA doesn’t have enough funding to last through hurricane season.
And Kamala Harris announced a slap-in-the-face $750 to victims.
Also, the Department of Transportation said “do not fly your drone near or around rescue and recovery efforts for Hurricane Helene.”

How am I supposed to watch this and not interpret that we have politicians that prioritize a foreign country over their own? This is treasonous. https://t.co/jX4MJFDN5k

It’s not that they hate you; they don’t even think about you enough to be able to hate you. You’re background noise to them. https://t.co/FpCq4LPdoX
