The Washington Post has reported that Senator Lindsey Graham, the senior senator from South Carolina, died at 71 after what his office called a brief and sudden illness. Recording just minutes after the news broke, Hawk offers an unsparing reflection on a figure he considered one of the more malevolent forces in American politics over the past decade.
Hawk builds his assessment around three moments he calls flashes of moral clarity: Graham's early 2016 warning that nominating Donald Trump would destroy the Republican Party, his Senate floor speech denouncing Trump after the January 6th insurrection, and his past defense of Joe Biden as a fundamentally good and decent man. In each case, Hawk argues, Graham soon reversed course and returned as one of Trump's most loyal foot soldiers.
The throughline, in Hawk's telling, is a man who had a moral core and principles but proved willing to jettison them entirely for power. He contends Graham will be remembered not for those brief principled moments but for his complete supplication to Donald Trump, and he closes on the recent death of Mitch McConnell as another marker of an era ending.
