Lindsey Graham Celebrated the Start of the Iran War as a Dedicated War Hawk and Trusted Advisor to President Trump
The late South Carolina senator Lindsey Graham was captured in unreleased documentary footage visibly celebrating the initiation of the Iran war. Known as a prominent war hawk, Graham expressed great elation during the U.S. strikes, telling a film crew that he was 'jacked' by the president's actions and describing President Trump as a 'great wartime president.' In the footage, Graham compared President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to iconic World War II leaders Roosevelt and Churchill. While his critics on social media have labeled him an insatiable warmonger, the administration announced that Graham remained a close ally and trusted counselor on high-stakes geopolitical matters. President Trump described Graham as a 'great guy' and a 'great politician' who enjoyed war. The senator died suddenly at age 71 from a cardiovascular condition. Memorial services are scheduled to take place in Washington, D.C., and South Carolina, where President Trump is set to speak at the memorial service.
