I suppose murder is possible but it’s a bit premature to jump to any conclusions.Murder
South Carolina. I wouldn’t bet on it.Wondering how this will affect the midterms in November. Will this be another win for the Democrats?

RRH Elections said it was likely cardiac arrest.Lindsey Graham, Longtime Republican Senator, Dies at 71
It’s hard to believe Mitch McConnell outlived Lindsey Graham.
John McCain was an honorable man. His daughter is honorable as well. Both had and hold moral standards that speak to being human, compassionate, and honorable.Lindsey Graham is dead at 71. In 2016, he dared America on camera: "Use my words against me." This is his obituary. These are his words.
In December 2015, Graham looked into a camera and called Donald Trump a "race-baiting, xenophobic, religious bigot." By February 2016: "I think he's a kook. I think he's crazy." That May he wrote: "If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed... and we will deserve it." He refused to vote for him.
Then Trump won, and Lindsey Graham discovered golf.
By late 2017 he was scolding the media for calling the president, yes, really, a kook.
His best friend was John McCain, a man Trump mocked for being captured in Vietnam and kept mocking after he was dead. Graham wept for McCain on the Senate floor, then deepened his devotion to the man who spat on his grave.
The words he wanted used came in 2016, when he swore that if a Supreme Court seat opened in an election year, the next president should fill it. In 2018 he repeated the promise and added: "hold the tape."
In October 2020, as Judiciary chairman, he rammed Amy Coney Barrett onto the Court eight days before the election.
In November 2020, Georgia's Republican secretary of state said Graham had called him asking about tossing legally cast mail ballots. Graham denied it, fought the grand jury subpoena all the way to the Supreme Court, and lost.
On January 6th, with the glass still on the Capitol floor, he announced: "Count me out. Enough is enough." He was back at Mar-a-Lago within months.
He cheered the country into Iraq. Three weeks ago he was on television promising that if diplomacy failed, Trump was "going to take the Strait of Hormuz."
Honesty requires one more line: he was, to the end, one of Ukraine's most reliable champions in the Senate, and he died the day after standing beside Zelensky in Kyiv. Even a ledger this dark has an entry in the other column.
But the ledger is the legacy. A man who saw exactly what Trump was, said so in the plainest English of his era, and then spent nine years kneeling to it for relevance.
He asked us to use his words against him.
Consider them used.

If Graham was a child murderer, every single dem president was one also! Even worse they were all presidential child murderers! ( who AlL paid the ultimate price ntwhttps://www.facebook.com/reel/1598858938336004/?mibextid=9drbnH&s=yWDuG2&fs=e
"We flattened Tokyo! We flattened Berlin! We'll flatten Gaza!!"
