Sen. Lindsey Graham sits down with CNN's Dana Bash and reflects on his friendship with Sen. John McCain on what would have been the late senator's 82nd birthday.
I'm beginning to wonder if his tears are real. How does one cry like that and turn around and do just the opposite of what John McCain believed in. These people are like the Stepfords.
I don't doubt he misses his work buddy. I don't agree with his ideas but I can't imagine how anyone could hang out with someone for years and NOT genuinely miss them. He lacks the spirit of McCain, so can't fight with the same vigor since he doesn't live in McCain's skin.
Michael Cohen: Charged with: Lying about his income to evade taxes, lying to banks to obtain loans Paul Manafort: Convicted by a federal court Michael Flynn: Pleaded guilty in December to a charge of lying to the FBI George Papadopoulos: Pleaded guilty in October to lying to the FBI Richard Gates: Pleaded guilty to charges of conspiracy and lying to the FBI Alex Van Der Zwaan: Pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI I don't remember that stuff happening while "evil Obama" was in the White House. Maybe you should get your head out of the sand.
John Balkcom So Graham , you can shut the fuck up , you know what trump has been saying about McCain in the last few days , the man has been dead Six months , and what have you done about it ? NOTHING . YOU are spineless , YOU were obviously not really his friend , why are you frightened of trump ? How can you sit back and not defend him ? “ when he (trump) says something bad about John it pisses me off “ , UGH stay under your rock .
Right, Lindsay! You talk about McCain having taught you that "honor" is important yet you've cozied up to Trump, a person devoid of honor and integrity. Impressive!
Enough talking, do something tangible like John McCain would do. Stand up to the orange buffoon and put him in jail where he belongs. Then we all know Senator John McCain will truly Rest In Peace!
The people that belong in jail are being protected by the FBI and DOJ You and the Propaganda Media might like to Pretend McCain is a Hero, but most Americans know he is not! Songbird McCain is a Traitor, a Criminal, and was involved in Sedition to try to remove our President with a Fake Dossier! There are photos of him smiling and meeting with ISIS Leaders! He was a warmonger! He voted along with the Democrats do screw over the American people suffering under Obamacare. He was funded by Soros, a Globalist trying to destroy our Country! There are photos of them smiling and conspiring together! And then there is the Fraudulent McCain Foundation, just as bad as the Clinton Foundation! Watching you Frauds in the Media pretend he was a National Hero is Sickening. You are becoming just as bad as the rest of Fake News, Operation Mockingbird Propaganda Media! Mc Cain was a selfish self absorbed rino and did all he could to derail Trump. I believe it was McCain himself that specifically said ( Trump would not be invited to his funeral ). so let's demonize Trump for respecting ones Last Wishes.? Pathetic!?
Shame on any of you people who slam any of these men. They served their country proudly and deserve respect!!! Thank you Mr. Graham for your service!!!
Same, here. I completely disagreed with McCain’s policies, but I know that he was a war hero, a fighter and a great and respectable man. A majority of people loved and respected him, including Democrats, including Obama, who defeated him for the presidency in 2008. Rest In Peace, Senator. You’ll be missed. Trump isn’t even a real Republican. He (Trump) is a thin-skinned bully and a con man and I’m glad, yet shocked that we defeated him.
JOHN McCain stood up for the millions of people who don't have the healthcare advantages he and you had. I respect him for that realization. Wish you would honor your friend with the same understanding:(
Senator Graham, I'm not sure how sincere you really are about honoring your friend, the Great Senator McCain and putting our country first But just know WE ALL will be watching you closely now and if you don't follow through....you will hear about it from ALL Americans, Trust Me, You will be held accountable and voted out quicker than you can imagine!! Now please sir, show your friend McCain that you will follow in his footsteps and be an Honorable man like he was. America is watching!! 👀
Why isn't he offended that the president refused to respect McCain's passing and honor him by lowering flag and issuing a statement on his heroic patriotism. Since Graham was such a close friend to McCain
@colette s anyone who serves their country in the military is a hero. What is more sad is that you can't even give your opinion without being angry and telling me to stfu. Its sad people like you exist. But thankfully there are more honorable respectful people in this world. You make your small people proud and you are a great example of the hate.

Gonna talk about human rights to president that takes children from their parents and abandons Puerto Rico. Graham will still support him while McCain wouldn't.
Puerto Rico is so corrupt that much of the aid we sent never got to where it was intended...Trump saw this and unlike his preceding political hacks he stopped showing the concern. The whole system of Puerto Rico would need overhauling in order to rectify where the aid went...This why the s-hole of a place is not a state...like most Latin American countries...corruption is rampant!...Go back to your hole, Biff, Rafael, Mad, LibHunk and Rita to name a few of you ...You don't like the way things are running here now...wait until we finish making America great again in spite of you...we've had it with your whining, rioting, looting....you are all sick...next time you have a thought...mmmm....let it go.
Tiggered Gary? Perhaps you need a safe space where people don't disagree with your Alex Jones Bullshit. Next time you think have a thought. mmmm. lie or blame others for your masters actions.
So Jeff Sessions didn't sign the "Zero Tolerance" policy into law under this Admin just this year? Puerto Rico got lots of aid and was a fantastic success, according to this admin. But how can that be when you say they rejected aid? Is it a success you take credit for? or is it a failure you blame the victim for? Can't argue both sides. ...but that may be a new concept for some.
Graham should be ashamed of himself for not standing up for his friend. A man who fought and suffered, and stood up for this country. Tone deaf comes to mind in seeing and hearing what Graham doesn't say. God Bless John McCain!
Friends usually have some commonality. Sen. McCain opposed Trump on principle and human decency. As a friend; it seems that you would honor his memory by having a backbone. Stand up for the constitution for which you took an oath! If Trump is wrong, you have a duty to remove him!
All the corruption in his administration is not imagined. The continued attempts to undermine an open, impartial investigation alone is proof of obvious wrong-doing. I am no fan of any political actor, but common sense must apply. "Patriots" have an obligation to defend the constitution above all other considerations. Most Trump supporters are fans of the man as opposed to being faithful Americans! I'm sure if conservatives could set aside who occupies the office currently, they would view any number of circumstances differently.
“I’m gona do what I think is best for the country ( despite what the actual voters of this country wants) just so I can stay relevant ( and keep those donor checks coming in). We hear you loud and clear senator.
A page from the McCain playbook, sometimes you have to do what you feel is right given the circumstances, that perhaps those in your constituency could not possibly understand. We have to trust they understand the situation and are doing the right thing. When there is a pattern of going against what we believe, then vote them out. McCain was able to do both for 30 years.
out of two former presidents a former senator and the McCain children...Linsey Graham has been the most American supporting both Our President and John McCain..Graham deserves more respect out of all of them for the way he handled himself.....and I am not usually a Graham supporter.. but he remained respectable through all of this..
The finest example I’ve ever seen of person that is channeling the grief of his own shame and ruthless self preservation through the death of a friend and colleague.If he revered J. McCain as much as he says, he would emulate his attitude towards the current president with similar integrity.
Bravo 👏👍👏 My sentiments exactly! Actions speak louder than words. Lindsay had a chance to make Senator McCain proud while he was alive and he blew it. Crocodile tears mean nothing.
A truly good man a real Republican of a Kind that is pretty well gone. I may not agree with his politics but I respect him as a man and, I would hope the next generation will learn from his example of refusing to play the dirty politics of Hate and Fear mongering that seems to have taken hold again lately. He won or lost on the merits of his message the way it should be. Also He put Country above Party when needed and loyal when he could be but always put Country first. Even when he had problems with the s&l scandal he dealt with it with dignity not by attacking and disparaging Investigators and then went after corruption afterwards. He Was a great war hero, tortured in the Hanoi Hilton for five Years he refused to be let go ahead of people that had been there longer, he bared the scars of that torture for the rest of his life. And yet he decided to serve His country until his dying breath. That is a True American Hero and Patriot! Thoughts and Prayers and Love to his Friends Wife Children and extended Family. RIP Senator John S. McCain 🙏💐🌺🌸🌷🕯🕯🕯

I just don't get Lindsay Graham. Sometimes he says really forceful things and I am so relieved that a Republican will stand up to Trump. But.... he always seems to disappoint in the end. He once said that if Jeff Sessions was fired, there would be "holy hell" to pay, now he supports it. John McCain was a hero and I understand Graham's love and respect for him.... but he should follow in his footsteps and be a voice for truth amongst the Republicans. AT LEAST he should explain WHY he changes his stance on issues all the time.
Sad that you can ignore the degradation of John McCain by Trump, Lindsey it gives nothing to the memory of John for you to be so giving to the one man that even after his death wanted to slight the real contribution of a real american hero. When you look in the mirror keep telling yourself you were a friend as you allow the very man that is against so much John stood for to keep spitting on his grave. God bless our country and may John rest in peace.
Graham is pretty smart. When he is on left leaning MSM programs he comes across as a moderate or even left leaning politician. When he is on FOX, he comes across just the opposite. He wants to appeal to the largest audience and he does a pretty good job of it. He will be anyone you want him to be.
I think that Sen. Graham is truly sad at the loss of his friend John McCain. I also think he is appreciative of the job President Trump is doing and he is going to continue to support the President.
Remember the old adage, actions speak louder than words. John was surely a man of action. You are NOT. Do him honor and change your values to stand for true integrity - for a change. Good diversion - Syria.
Wisdom requires that we let justice and principle, not personalities be our guide. This is what John McCain did. I didn't agree with many of his political positions, but his integrity is undisputed.
You missed the NY Times? Don't believe them now when they say there is a mass shooting in your building. Just brush it off. You want truth? Truth is without support for the free press we will end up with a dictatorship. Truth.
+Ed The lying fake corporate media has been spewing propaganda and misinformation to the public for the last 60 plus years.. #operationmockingbird Only The uninformed zombiefied matrixfied brainwashed sheeples believe there lies.
I don't totally discount what you're saying. That's why you got to go to more than one source and judge for yourself. In the end we all tend to believe news that confirms what we already are inclined to believe. But somethings are common sense. I.e., I don't listen to what journalist say about Trump as I listen to what comes out of his own mouth which is usually disgusting. And I've followed Trump for much longer than the average because I'm from NYC and what he does/has done is not new to me. He's a con man. But back to the media...., yes, it's all skewed. Still need to watch and put the pieces together like a puzzle. The answer is not to suppress them but to allow more opinions to seep in and digest; and make up your mind. That source you used and sent is also media my friend. In the end I respect your caution and acknowledge it is not without cause. Just don't go crazy with it.

McCain is a hero.As a veteran i could never back someone who said POWS are not heros because they got caught while talking positive about communist/putin.You all are the traitors.Veterans gave their lives for the US, not russia.And you all just pissed on their graves.
Lindsey take all the wisdom knowledge that you and John did shared and achieved together over all those many years ..then let That wisdom and knowledge guidance and you through your journeys ahead ! You will make it and that will make you the stronger for it ! All those memories and all you both achieved and the love you shared and all your accomplishments gives you library information to draw on from this day forth.. One day you will understand just how strong of man you have become fo all you and John have shared ! Now the love you have for one another in time will be comforting as you continue on your work , ideas, hopes dreams and in the love you both shared that love will still be there
My heart breaks for McCain's family and friends, including Graham, but words mean nothing. Honor him by displaying the honor and courage by making the tough choices and putting country first even it means going against your party. I'm also not saying that you have to fight Donald and throw him out of office. However what you do need to do is hold up our laws, our Constitution and do things like protect Mueller so the investigation can be completed as it is supposed too. That is putting country first.
colette s if Trey Gowdy and the GOP can investigate Hillary for four years wasting money (without finding an serious issues) why can’t Mueller complete his investigation.
to me some of the most meaningless words are, after a shooting or another tragedy, are: "Our thoughts and prayers are with you." It is as good as saying, "but don't expect any help or change come to from it."
Graham and MaCain were like BROTHERS!! THEY WERE PARTNERS/THE BEST OF FRIENDS!! They were & are all-inclusive when it came to doing what was & is BEST FOR OUR NATION! Lindsey Graham has LOST A PART OF HIMSELF.....and knows & feels every bit of it!!
Okay Graham if you truly want to honor your great friend then you of all should be angry at the treatment that trump has shown Mc Cain. trump is a traitor!! Show some balls and stand up to trump. Actions speak louder than words.
Graham may be the biggest coward and traitor of all of the gutless Putin Republicans. He and Paul Ryan are vying for that dubious distinction. The entire enabling GOP will go down in history as co-conspirators in Trump's plot to destroy our country.
R.I.P. John McCain. A true President has gone. But lets all hope that his spirit inspires America to move forward and take Trump down. The wrong man in the Oval Office. What a President you would have been Jon McCain!! This is how America shall sound and act. You will be missed very much!
I acknowledge your grief Lindsey Graham. May the connection that you have with your Lord permit you to let go, release, and surrender your grief and experience spiritual connection with your beloved friend John and ultimately find within peace.
I’m even more saddened now from your comments related to Attorney Gen. Sessions and President Trump. Senator Graham of all people please consider that you’re being unduly influenced if not co-opted by our president. Please Senator Graham you have been heroic before, your country needs you now more than ever. We need you voice as you say for...engagement. Be well.
Why not accept his words for what they are? Back off john, let people breathe and believe based on their own conviction... not by a party that demands subservience to dogma.
Nice that a politician who doesn't see eye to eye with President Trump actually getting our presidents back for once, and not turning it to the negative stuff that constantly been taking up so much of everyones time it's really nice to hear a positive remarks!
A thought just occured to me, and it stopped my tears for John McCain - no, I did not personally know him, but always respected this man. His parting from this now so crazy world, if it did nothing to the average citizen, it did one thing possibly for politicians: granted, not everyone, but many enough to step back and re-evaluate their rhetoric spewed so distateful, sometimes near hate, toward the other politician in the goverment. If one kind sentence is said, proclaimed by any politician, that is true reflection and thought for betterment - than I can stand and find hope for our goverment, no matter which party it is coming from. John McCain incited PEACE even in his death !
Lindsey didn't even wait for his "so called friend" to die that he was starting to cosy up with his new boyfriend, Codename: Orange. He even went to the lows as to play golf less than two weeks ago with the tweeter in chief. What a way to send off your "friend" as you know he is dying, than to start becoming buddy with a vile Orange thing who insulted him. Not even democrats insulted him that way. With McCain gone and no one for him to follow in the shadows, he needed another guide, so he picked the dumbest most repugnant and repulsive human being. Bravo Lindsey!
Lindsey Graham needs to go back to the day he spoke in the Senate after John McCain's death needs to Revisit that day and time and Honor what he said about what he learned from Senator McCain's life and Start putting it in to Practice for John's Honor
He talks of Iraq... I wish they also mention innocent countless human beings mudered across the world becauseof their decisions... Glad there is death and then what we sow so shall we reap begins...
First time in a long time I have been proud of my country. Way to go, Sen. Graham. You are a true patriot for respecting the will of the people. My mom always told me the same thing Sen McCain said to you, "He's my president now." Now, read Article 2 of the Constitution and recognize that Mueller's appointment was unconstitutional as he was not appointed by the President NOR confirmed by the Senate, the two prerequisites to a principal appointee. Uphold our Constitution or our Constitution will fall into irrepairable decay.
Senator Graham, Thank you for that tribute to Senator McCain and the fact you reminded the other colleagues (all of them) in the WH their country first, not to bring it down to fulfill their dream or needs, fighting with others show how unbalanced they are in and with their life, to be kind will definitely make them feel better, respect others and even those with different points of vue, follow a good path in life, always TRY to do good things because the term "history" doesn't forgive and forget, live for yourself and others, be self-centered never benefits, and so. I have personally learn something else from Sen. McCain also, that story which said "the dogs bark, the caravan moves on". I have used it and that attitude makes me feel better in my life. Hope some of you sit down and think twice about the person who was the Senator John McCain and ask themselves how come even people belonging to the Dem party are also crying for his lost. Hope his kids will continue how he tought them to live - (his daughter Meghan McCain will get up to pursue his works) Sen. Graham, I hope, after those tears, from today you will line-up behind most of McCain's beliefs for real
What's important is what kind of lacacy will you leave Senator Lindsey Graham? John McCain left his and he's was honorable, a man of integrity, a man with dignity. If your going to follow Donald Trump be ready for harsh criticism in your history of your service to this Country. John McCain if he see something he didn't agree with he stood his ground, even if he had to stand alone. What are you willing to do?? Congress healthcare reform. Thank you! Senator John McCain.
Didn't appreciate Graham before this interview, but it looks like he's got his head on straight. He has his beliefs, some of which I don't agree with, but his integrity seems to be intact. Just hope he sees Donnie for what Donnie really is....
I fear he is blinded by the Title of President above the actual man himself. I can respect his wanting to stand by the President, but we do not have one of those. We have a Pretendisdent.
@ Lovely Lori - As I stated, 'He has his beliefs, some of which I don't agree with' ...Please don't go around calling people deluded just for the sake of seeing your post on RUclips.
I'm beginning to wonder if his tears are real. How does one cry like that and turn around and do just the opposite of what John McCain believed in.
These people are like the Stepfords.
He is an opportunist. Such a vile human being.

Donna M.In my country we call them Mother-in-law tears.Lindsay Graham is a backstabbing weasel
I don't doubt he misses his work buddy. I don't agree with his ideas but I can't imagine how anyone could hang out with someone for years and NOT genuinely miss them. He lacks the spirit of McCain, so can't fight with the same vigor since he doesn't live in McCain's skin.
Vile is strong. I don't agree with him but like George Bush I think he does the best he can.
Shame on you, if you had an ounce of integrity you would carry on the fight against Comrade Orange in the name of your friend
As I heard someone say...”we now know that Lindsey Graham has a heart, now let’s see if he develops a spine.
Tango Bango Not yet!
@ Tango Bango. 8/2020. He didn't. I wonder what any "eulogists" will have to say about him.
Holyshit he actually shrunk it. Might have killed his heart too in the process
John McCain was a rare human being, made alot of sacrifices and devoted his life in serving his country .
The old cliche holds true, "All it takes for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing."
mick darabuke - That cliche was never more true and especially in this country.
The evil started in 2017 .... you are a true bigot
The cliche is a cliche for a reason. It holds true.
Thank God Trump is President, can you imagine criminal Hillary running the show? Burrrrrrr

So, is anybody surprised about this? If you haven't figured out what a piece of trash Lindsey Graham is by now, you're way behind!
Gonna talk about human rights to president that takes children from their parents and abandons Puerto Rico. Graham will still support him while McCain wouldn't.
Puerto Rico is so corrupt that much of the aid we sent never got to where it was intended...Trump saw this and unlike his preceding political hacks he stopped showing the concern. The whole system of Puerto Rico would need overhauling in order to rectify where the aid went...This why the s-hole of a place is not a state...like most Latin American countries...corruption is rampant!...Go back to your hole, Biff, Rafael, Mad, LibHunk and Rita to name a few of you ...You don't like the way things are running here now...wait until we finish making America great again in spite of you...we've had it with your whining, rioting, looting....you are all sick...next time you have a thought...mmmm....let it go.
Tiggered Gary? Perhaps you need a safe space where people don't disagree with your Alex Jones Bullshit. Next time you think have a thought. mmmm. lie or blame others for your masters actions.
So Jeff Sessions didn't sign the "Zero Tolerance" policy into law under this Admin just this year? Puerto Rico got lots of aid and was a fantastic success, according to this admin. But how can that be when you say they rejected aid? Is it a success you take credit for? or is it a failure you blame the victim for? Can't argue both sides. ...but that may be a new concept for some.
with Graham as a friend, one doesn't need enemies
Graham should be ashamed of himself for not standing up for his friend. A man who fought and suffered, and stood up for this country. Tone deaf comes to mind in seeing and hearing what Graham doesn't say. God Bless John McCain!
He spend a lot of time with the DT in new Jersey playing golf these pass 2 weeks. Those are crocodile tears.
Trump should be afraid of Graham. That's why he made Graham a judiciary committee.
Friends usually have some commonality. Sen. McCain opposed Trump on principle and human decency. As a friend; it seems that you would honor his memory by having a backbone. Stand up for the constitution for which you took an oath! If Trump is wrong, you have a duty to remove him!
All the corruption in his administration is not imagined. The continued attempts to undermine an open, impartial investigation alone is proof of obvious wrong-doing. I am no fan of any political actor, but common sense must apply. "Patriots" have an obligation to defend the constitution above all other considerations. Most Trump supporters are fans of the man as opposed to being faithful Americans! I'm sure if conservatives could set aside who occupies the office currently, they would view any number of circumstances differently.
This man is my senator. He will play both sides to his advantage.
This is tearing up Donald Trump too. The poor man is grieving too much to even speak about it. Rip John McCain.
“I’m gona do what I think is best for the country ( despite what the actual voters of this country wants) just so I can stay relevant ( and keep those donor checks coming in). We hear you loud and clear senator.
A page from the McCain playbook, sometimes you have to do what you feel is right given the circumstances, that perhaps those in your constituency could not possibly understand. We have to trust they understand the situation and are doing the right thing. When there is a pattern of going against what we believe, then vote them out. McCain was able to do both for 30 years.
Ty , First of his name Voter voted for Donald J Trump..
Time for this man to live by his words and to take the McCain legacy forward himself and stand up for honour, integrity and country
out of two former presidents a former senator and the McCain children...Linsey Graham has been the most American supporting both Our President and John McCain..Graham deserves more respect out of all of them for the way he handled himself.....and I am not usually a Graham supporter.. but he remained respectable through all of this..
The words were touching and from the heart. Now deeds are required to honour McCain over the next few years and beyond.
The finest example I’ve ever seen of person that is channeling the grief of his own shame and ruthless self preservation through the death of a friend and colleague.If he revered J. McCain as much as he says, he would emulate his attitude towards the current president with similar integrity.
Bravo 👏👍👏
My sentiments exactly! Actions speak louder than words. Lindsay had a chance to make Senator McCain proud while he was alive and he blew it. Crocodile tears mean nothing.
Ok then STAND UP.
RIP Maverick and thank you for your love for this nation. ❤️
It is being reported on the news, that Graham had his staff researching "how to make yourself cry on demand" before he got up for that speech.
To Mr. Graham and the GOP: God and history are watching you
A truly good man a real Republican of a Kind that is pretty well gone. I may not agree with his politics but I respect him as a man and, I would hope the next generation will learn from his example of refusing to play the dirty politics of Hate and Fear mongering that seems to have taken hold again lately. He won or lost on the merits of his message the way it should be. Also He put Country above Party when needed and loyal when he could be but always put Country first. Even when he had problems with the s&l scandal he dealt with it with dignity not by attacking and disparaging Investigators and then went after corruption afterwards. He Was a great war hero, tortured in the Hanoi Hilton for five Years he refused to be let go ahead of people that had been there longer, he bared the scars of that torture for the rest of his life. And yet he decided to serve His country until his dying breath. That is a True American Hero and Patriot!
Thoughts and Prayers and Love to his Friends Wife Children and extended Family.
RIP Senator John S. McCain 🙏💐🌺🌸🌷🕯🕯🕯
Well said may he rest in perfect peace
Who the hell are you talking about? You and the Propaganda Media might like to Pretend McCain is a Hero, but most
Americans know he is not! Songbird McCain is a Traitor, a Criminal, and was involved in Sedition
to try to remove our President with a Fake Dossier! There are photos of him smiling and meeting
with ISIS Leaders! He was a warmonger! He voted along with the Democrats do screw over the
American people suffering under Obamacare. He was funded by Soros, a Globalist trying to destroy
our Country! There are photos of them smiling and conspiring together! And then there is the
Fraudulent McCain Foundation, just as bad as the Clinton Foundation! Watching you Frauds
in the Media pretend he was a National Hero is Sickening. You are becoming just as bad as the
rest of Fake News, Operation Mockingbird Propaganda Media! Mc Cain was a selfish self absorbed rino and did
all he could to derail Trump. I believe it was McCain himself that specifically said
( Trump would not be invited to his funeral ). so let's demonize Trump for respecting ones
Last Wishes.?
Pathetic!?
Thank you Lindsey for your support of our current President and Tribute to John McCain.
I just don't get Lindsay Graham. Sometimes he says really forceful things and I am so relieved that a Republican will stand up to Trump. But.... he always seems to disappoint in the end. He once said that if Jeff Sessions was fired, there would be "holy hell" to pay, now he supports it. John McCain was a hero and I understand Graham's love and respect for him.... but he should follow in his footsteps and be a voice for truth amongst the Republicans. AT LEAST he should explain WHY he changes his stance on issues all the time.
`ooooo
I think there is hope for Lindsay Graham if he pursues his fine words and goals of bipartisanship. I hope things will get better for our nation.
SENATOR GRAHAM . TALK IS CHEAP . CHANGE YOUR WAYS . PROVE YOUR AN AMERICAN .
colette s GREAT CHOICE ... PUTIN APPROVES
Eric agnostic. ... ididot ? ... DONT THANK ME ... THIS IS GRAHAMS OSCAR MOMENT . FAKER
Eric agnostic ... IDIDOT . ?... GRAMMAR PLEASE
Sad that you can ignore the degradation of John McCain by Trump, Lindsey it gives nothing to the memory of John for you to be so giving to the one man that even after his death wanted to slight the real contribution of a real american hero. When you look in the mirror keep telling yourself you were a friend as you allow the very man that is against so much John stood for to keep spitting on his grave. God bless our country and may John rest in peace.
This interview is just for show. He needs to stand up to Trump and ask him to release the documents for his Supreme Court nominee.
Graham is pretty smart. When he is on left leaning MSM programs he comes across as a moderate or even left leaning politician. When he is on FOX, he comes across just the opposite. He wants to appeal to the largest audience and he does a pretty good job of it. He will be anyone you want him to be.
NOW it's time to DO SOMETHING to respect Senator McCain. Act against trump's terrible actions !
you have shown that you are an opportunist.
Like making America better than ever
Rip🇺🇸🇺🇸 john McCain 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Amen. Senator McCain true American Patriot.
Traitor Trump, big fat zero.
@@daisyelmir1289 agree
for everything there is a season. thank God you had someone to mentor you. now you be what he was to you.
I was very moved by the words of Mr. Lindsay about his dear friend and colleague John McCain.
Fake tears from Lindsey Graham
Graham, be the man your friend McCain always believed you were. Stand up to Trump if you love your country, not Trump, power, money and corruption!
2:48 bingo. That's what happened. The GOP died with John McCain
I think that Sen. Graham is truly sad at the loss of his friend John McCain. I also think he is appreciative of the job President Trump is doing and he is going to continue to support the President.
we will all miss one of the best
No we won't.
Lol so not john
well at least the people that have a soul will miss him
@@donkeydik3026 /sun dial fake wannabe male from the waist down.😁
I will not miss one of the beast...yahoo...
Remember the old adage, actions speak louder than words. John was surely a man of action. You are NOT. Do him honor and change your values to stand for true integrity - for a change. Good diversion - Syria.
Simplicity is honorable.
🙏🏻
Wisdom requires that we let justice and principle, not personalities be our guide. This is what John McCain did. I didn't agree with many of his political positions, but his integrity is undisputed.
Absolute opportunist and traitor to his "friend"! And he knows it!
Shout out to CNN. Can anyone imagine Fox having a Democrat on their station and treating him/her with such dignity? Me neither.
The lying fake corporate media
cbs

You missed the NY Times? Don't believe them now when they say there is a mass shooting in your building. Just brush it off. You want truth? Truth is without support for the free press we will end up with a dictatorship. Truth.
+Ed The lying fake corporate media has been spewing propaganda and misinformation to the public for the last 60 plus years..
#operationmockingbird
Only The uninformed zombiefied matrixfied brainwashed sheeples believe there lies.
I don't totally discount what you're saying. That's why you got to go to more than one source and judge for yourself. In the end we all tend to believe news that confirms what we already are inclined to believe. But somethings are common sense. I.e., I don't listen to what journalist say about Trump as I listen to what comes out of his own mouth which is usually disgusting. And I've followed Trump for much longer than the average because I'm from NYC and what he does/has done is not new to me. He's a con man. But back to the media...., yes, it's all skewed. Still need to watch and put the pieces together like a puzzle. The answer is not to suppress them but to allow more opinions to seep in and digest; and make up your mind. That source you used and sent is also media my friend. In the end I respect your caution and acknowledge it is not without cause. Just don't go crazy with it.
BTW your name is really Putin??? Hahaha. The irony.
Lets respect and honor senator John Mc Cain .may your soul rest with the utmost peace ..thanks for your service...
Honorable response, Senator Lindsay.
Grow a pair Lindsey and stand up to Trump like McCain did.
fuck the neocons pal!!!
Trump is the best we had this century!!!
trump 2020!!!

Because Senator McCain stood up to Trump like a STRONG MAN, he will always be remembered.
McCain is a hero.As a veteran i could never back someone who said POWS are not heros because they got caught while talking positive about communist/putin.You all are the traitors.Veterans gave their lives for the US, not russia.And you all just pissed on their graves.
Yesssss👏👏👏
Graham lost me when he said: “I spoke to Ivanka about Africa.” What has happen
AWWW HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHN ENJOY YOUR DAY IN TH BOSOM OF YOUR HEAVENLY FATHER
Lindsey take all the wisdom knowledge that you and John did shared and achieved together over all those many years ..then let That wisdom and knowledge guidance and you through your journeys ahead ! You will make it and that will make you the stronger for it ! All those memories and all you both achieved and the love you shared and all your accomplishments gives you library information to draw on from this day forth.. One day you will understand just how strong of man you have become fo all you and John have shared ! Now the love you have for one another in time will be comforting as you continue on your work , ideas, hopes dreams and in the love you both shared that love will still be there
My heart breaks for McCain's family and friends, including Graham, but words mean nothing. Honor him by displaying the honor and courage by making the tough choices and putting country first even it means going against your party. I'm also not saying that you have to fight Donald and throw him out of office. However what you do need to do is hold up our laws, our Constitution and do things like protect Mueller so the investigation can be completed as it is supposed too. That is putting country first.
colette s if Trey Gowdy and the GOP can investigate Hillary for four years wasting money (without finding an serious issues) why can’t Mueller complete his investigation.
to me some of the most meaningless words are, after a shooting or another tragedy, are: "Our thoughts and prayers are with you." It is as good as saying, "but don't expect any help or change come to from it."
Rip Mccain.
It's August 2020 now, LG . . . . So what went wrong?
Graham and MaCain were like BROTHERS!! THEY WERE PARTNERS/THE BEST OF FRIENDS!! They were & are all-inclusive when it came to doing what was & is BEST FOR OUR NATION! Lindsey Graham has LOST A PART OF HIMSELF.....and knows & feels every bit of it!!
Okay Graham if you truly want to honor your great friend then you of all should be angry at the treatment that trump has shown Mc Cain. trump is a traitor!! Show some balls and stand up to trump. Actions speak louder than words.
What about the treatment that McCain has shown to Trump? President Trump was just returning the rhetoric and disrespect that he was being shown.
Graham is a fake.
He is crying now but when the Tangerine Teletubby was hammering his so called friend, he didn't defend him so his tears to me are meaningless!
Graham may be the biggest coward and traitor of all of the gutless Putin Republicans. He and Paul Ryan are vying for that dubious distinction. The entire enabling GOP will go down in history as co-conspirators in Trump's plot to destroy our country.
gerard henry d
R.I.P. John McCain. A true President has gone. But lets all hope that his spirit inspires America to move forward and take Trump down. The wrong man in the Oval Office. What a President you would have been Jon McCain!! This is how America shall sound and act. You will be missed very much!
Honor and imperfections! Well Your imperfections are showing so now do the honor part.
I acknowledge your grief Lindsey Graham. May the connection that you have with your Lord permit you to let go, release, and surrender your grief and experience spiritual connection with your beloved friend John and ultimately find within peace.
Stick with Trump you coward. The Republican Party and its honor died with Senator McCain.....a POW and a Hero
Shay T 👍
John told you to have some balls, you spineless leech.
NIGGA PLEASE!!-
Shit then it outlasted the Democratic party. Remember when Romney was going to "put ya'll back in chains?"
shay you are so dumb......
I’m even more saddened now from your comments related to Attorney Gen. Sessions and President Trump. Senator Graham of all people please consider that you’re being unduly influenced if not co-opted by our president. Please Senator Graham you have been heroic before, your country needs you now more than ever. We need you voice as you say for...engagement. Be well.
Why not accept his words for what they are? Back off john, let people breathe and believe based on their own conviction... not by a party that demands subservience to dogma.
The Transformers : damn!! this dude shifts way faster than us!
Nice that a politician who doesn't see eye to eye with President Trump actually getting our presidents back for once, and not turning it to the negative stuff that constantly been taking up so much of everyones time it's really nice to hear a positive remarks!
It's called damage control! That's all it is.
What do they have on you, Mr Lindsay? Is it worth it?
*Miss
A thought just occured to me, and it stopped my tears for John McCain - no, I did not personally know him, but always respected this man. His parting from this now so crazy world, if it did nothing to the average citizen, it did one thing possibly for politicians: granted, not everyone, but many enough to step back and re-evaluate their rhetoric spewed so distateful, sometimes near hate, toward the other politician in the goverment.
If one kind sentence is said, proclaimed by any politician, that is true reflection and thought for betterment - than I can stand and find hope for our goverment, no matter which party it is coming from.
John McCain incited PEACE even in his death !
I read these comments, and for once, I have nothing to add.
Mega Dittos.
Lindsey didn't even wait for his "so called friend" to die that he was starting to cosy up with his new boyfriend, Codename: Orange. He even went to the lows as to play golf less than two weeks ago with the tweeter in chief. What a way to send off your "friend" as you know he is dying, than to start becoming buddy with a vile Orange thing who insulted him. Not even democrats insulted him that way. With McCain gone and no one for him to follow in the shadows, he needed another guide, so he picked the dumbest most repugnant and repulsive human being. Bravo Lindsey!
He took the call?
Lindsey Graham needs to go back to the day he spoke in the Senate after John McCain's death needs to Revisit that day and time and Honor what he said about what he learned from Senator McCain's life and Start putting it in to Practice for John's Honor
Oh geez, I didn't know that. That *really* sucks for his family.
RIP
He talks of Iraq... I wish they also mention innocent countless human beings mudered across the world becauseof their decisions... Glad there is death and then what we sow so shall we reap begins...
First time in a long time I have been proud of my country. Way to go, Sen. Graham. You are a true patriot for respecting the will of the people. My mom always told me the same thing Sen McCain said to you, "He's my president now." Now, read Article 2 of the Constitution and recognize that Mueller's appointment was unconstitutional as he was not appointed by the President NOR confirmed by the Senate, the two prerequisites to a principal appointee. Uphold our Constitution or our Constitution will fall into irrepairable decay.
Senator Graham,
Thank you for that tribute to Senator McCain and the fact you reminded the other colleagues (all of them) in the WH their country first, not to bring it down to fulfill their dream or needs, fighting with others show how unbalanced they are in and with their life, to be kind will definitely make them feel better, respect others and even those with different points of vue, follow a good path in life, always TRY to do good things because the term "history" doesn't forgive and forget, live for yourself and others, be self-centered never benefits, and so.
I have personally learn something else from Sen. McCain also, that story which said "the dogs bark, the caravan moves on". I have used it and that attitude makes me feel better in my life.
Hope some of you sit down and think twice about the person who was the Senator John McCain and ask themselves how come even people belonging to the Dem party are also crying for his lost.
Hope his kids will continue how he tought them to live - (his daughter Meghan McCain will get up to pursue his works)
Sen. Graham, I hope, after those tears, from today you will line-up behind most of McCain's beliefs for real
What's important is what kind of lacacy will you leave Senator Lindsey Graham? John McCain left his and he's was honorable, a man of integrity, a man with dignity. If your going to follow Donald Trump be ready for harsh criticism in your history of your service to this Country. John McCain if he see something he didn't agree with he stood his ground, even if he had to stand alone. What are you willing to do?? Congress healthcare reform. Thank you! Senator John McCain.
This main is a perfect example why u need term limits..
Just a total hypocrite.
Please People now in time no bad tweets for a few days of Silence John McCain was a good man.
The canonisation of John McCain si truly appalling. Warmongers do not deserve eulogising or honouring. They need to be forgotten.
#impeachtrump make america safe again.
Chris King God bless America ! God bless president Trump ,he is the best!!!!!!!!!!!
1. there is no such thing as any god/gods. show proof or gtfo. 2. trump is worse human to be potus since nixon.
Didn't appreciate Graham before this interview, but it looks like he's got his head on straight. He has his beliefs, some of which I don't agree with, but his integrity seems to be intact. Just hope he sees Donnie for what Donnie really is....
I fear he is blinded by the Title of President above the actual man himself. I can respect his wanting to stand by the President, but we do not have one of those. We have a Pretendisdent.
@ Lovely Lori - As I stated, 'He has his beliefs, some of which I don't agree with' ...Please don't go around calling people deluded just for the sake of seeing your post on RUclips.
haha that was real funny at the end. it makes a bit more sense when you see things from his perspective.
With a friend like this who needs enemies
