The morning after Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina died at 71, reportedly of a heart attack, Hawk puts together a clip-by-clip retrospective of a long career. In his view, Graham's legacy comes down to two things: an unwavering dedication to Donald Trump, with a few notable speed bumps, and an unwavering dedication to Israel and to war in the Middle East, including the current war with Iran.
The Trump arc is the spine of the video. Hawk revisits Graham's 2016 warning that nominating Trump would destroy the party, his endorsement of Jeb Bush, and Trump giving out Graham's cell phone number, then the turn: endorsing Trump, working to overturn the 2020 election Joe Biden won, condemning Trump after January 6th, and getting back on board weeks later.
Hawk also traces Graham's close friendship with Joe Biden, recalling the loss of Beau Biden and the Biden family's history, and how that warmth curdled into calls for impeachment over Afghanistan. He closes on Graham's fealty to Benjamin Netanyahu, the trips to Israel, the JCPOA, and the fallout from the Iran war, offering a blunt final assessment.
