Lefty Ghouls Are Already Celebrating Lindsey Graham’s Death

Within hours of Senator Lindsey Graham’s (R-SC) sudden death on Saturday, the internet ghouls had already begin to come out of the woodwork to celebrate his demise.

From Iranian television personalities to a member of The Lincoln Project — with a host of others in between — they mocked Graham and suggested that he was burning in hell, mainly because they disagreed with his politics.

One Iranian television presenter commented with a smile, “I congratulate the great nation of Iran on the fact that Lindsey Graham—the warmongering, anti-Iran U.S. senator—has gone straight to hell.”

The Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps followed with a series of photos of people being targeted by the regime — chief among them being President Donald Trump — with a red “X” drawn through Graham’s face.

Graham had responded to Iranian threats on his life — along with threats aimed at The Daily Wire’s Ben Shapiro, among others — just days earlier, quipping, “At least they used a good photo of me … Judge me by my enemies.”

“Bye Lindsey. May you live an eternity in ruins for the ruins you helped create in Gaza. Ameen,” Dr. Omar Suleiman posted.

The Lincoln Project co-founder Steve Schmidt trashed Graham on X, saying, “Lindsey Graham was a malignant clown; a venomous jester by choice.” In another post, he added, “Lindsey Graham was a simple, tragic man. He lacked a moral core. The great empty spaces of his life were filled with an insatiable need for “relevance.” He found it as a cast member in the most malignant reality show ever made.”

On YouTube, Schmidt commented, “Looks like Lindsey Graham was the latest person to have had a 20-minute conversation with Mitch McConnell.”

Spencer Hakimian also used Graham’s passing to jab at the ailing former Senate Majority Leader, mocking the Senator Mitch McConnell’s (R-KY) former aide and CNN commentator Scott Jennings in the same swipe: “Has Scott Jennings tried calling Lindsey Graham yet?”

Jackson Hinkle called Graham a “war criminal,” adding in a separate post, “43 million people attended the funeral of Sayyed Ali Khamenei … How many people will attend Lindsey Graham’s funeral?”

“The Young Turks” cohost Ana Kasparian said simply, “Good riddance” — but when she was called out, she defended her choice by suggesting that her critics would “celebrate” the death of a Palestinian toddler.

“I love how people who’ve normalized celebrations of death are clutching their pearls today. Just pretend I’m talking about a Palestinian toddler. Maybe then you can relate to my post,” she said.

Wajahat Ali said, “Lindsey Graham was a terrible man who betrayed whatever values he had to kiss up to Trump just to stay, in his words, ‘relevant.’ He is now dead.”

Among elected Democrats, the tone was dramatically different. While many were happy to disclose that they had disagreed with Graham on a fairly regular basis, most also said that they valued him as both a friend and colleague.
