Lindsey Graham

is a good example of those, who, instead of using their influence to guide those heading in the wrong direction, chose to join forces with them, making them believe that what they were doing were right. One would hope that his sudden passing would be a wake up call to many others, not to join forces with wrong doers, no matter what. The consequences when we do that, could be

detrimental. A lot of the horrible things happening in the USA, and the world today, are because he, and others who had the power to act in prevention, did not. Evil never wins, it only appears to work in the short run, however, in the long run, it destroys you.

He was as fake as they come, originally, he made the right assessment about who Trump is and then reverse everything he observed and join forces with Trump to help him cause the happenings of the present. The drama continues.

Aortic dissection is an extremely painful way to go.

On May 3, 2016, during the Republican presidential primary, Graham tweeted: “If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed.......and we will deserve it.” During that same period, he publicly called Trump a “race-baiting, xenophobic, religious bigot” and a “demagogue of the greatest proportion.” The years that followed is widely seen as the definitive example of political opportunism and submission to power.

Detractors point out that as soon as Trump won the presidency, Graham discarded his previous warnings.

 Graham famously declared, "Count me out. Enough is enough." Yet, within weeks, he reversed course again, flying to Mar-a-Lago and defending Trump against impeachment, stating he was trying to "harness the magic."

A political chameleon who lacked core convictions, willing to attach himself to any leader, first John McCain, then Donald Trump, to stay close to the center of power.

The Kavanaugh hearings are widely viewed as the turning point where Graham shed his moderate image.

Years earlier, Graham had famously stated on camera that if a Supreme Court vacancy opened up during an election year under a Republican president, he would not vote to fill it...Amy Coney Barrett 

This was the only time in Graham's entire career that he voted against a Supreme Court nominee. Critics noted the irony, given that he had previously voted to confirm Jackson to a lower federal appeals court just one year prior.

Man is a Teachable Animal, unfortunately you learnt nothing in this life, Graham...

We all receive what we deserve , nature never forgets.
