How could anyone with a Bio like this change so much. He worked for the benefit of all mankind. From birth to 2016 . He gave everything to our country and constitution. Then you wonder why after John McCain passed away Lindsey was and is not Lindsey before age of 60. I can come up with 100 scenarios and they still don’t fit this guy but money changes everyone. Trump got in his head like a cancer got into me . The country got screwed because this happened. Maybe just maybe he will come back as the great American he was.
stupid leftist!
Yes he is an is a true to form idiot.
In 2015, his net worth was under 500000, now its 5million, please explain how the Senator enriched himself so greatly in 5 years! This is widespread and will take a revolution to stop! Greed a shameful human trait.
Another crook collecting a federal salary while enriching himself.
100% correct. Lindsey Graham is a corrupt politician. He works for the democrats and not the people of South Carolina.
In 2014 he was worth 3 million.
Insider trading and lobbyist. Any questions ?
He’s just helped Biden bring radical judges to the supreme Court. He’s a real stand up guy.
He’s one of the bigly hypocrites in DC. How does a Congressman and/or Senator become a multi-millionaire when he came from nothing? He’s as corrupt as the rest of the republican party.
Pelosi has tons more $$
Biden, Pelosi, Carey, Reid and so many more have many multiples of Graham. Come on, only an idiot thinks Republicans are the rich ones.
What does party affiliation have to do with it, they’re all self dealing while on the federal payroll.
More than 10 years worth of tax returns show U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham’s wealth comes mostly from his annual congressional salary and, since 2015, a military pension, making him one of the lowest earners among his Senate colleagues, according to his campaign.
In total, between 2008 and 2019, Graham reported $2.1 million in adjusted gross income and paid $495,000 in federal and state income taxes, according to tax returns made available by his reelection campaign.
Graham, who is one of the least wealthy members of the Senate, is in a close re-election battle with Democratic challenger Jaime Harrison. A poll last month had the race tied with 44%, and both campaigns have raised tens of millions of dollars allowing them to flood the airwaves with television ads.

ROBERT… A MILITARY PENSION AND A SENATOR’S SALARY WILL NAT MAKE 5 MILLION IS SAVING IN LESS THAN 5 YEARS…. DOESN’T MATTER HE’S THE LOWEST “EARNING”… WHERE THE HELL DOES AN HONEST SENATOR GET 5 MILLION DOLLARS IN LESS THAN 5 YEARS?
Senator Graham, when taking the oath today in front of the country, did you tell the truth in saying you would fulfill your oath then signed the book? After your public comments saying you would NOT even read, listen or review the evidence ..did you lie in clear site of all the country? If yes, you are not fit to serve this country.
What happened to you, I once admired and supported you. I have changed my affiliation, leaving the Republican party because of you and your support of this criminal man in the White House. I cant even call him him the President, he is a reality actor, failed businessman pretending to be President. I feel sorry for you, how do you sleep at night or look at yourself in the mirror. Truly youre a sad, mislead man, selling your soul for power. What must your family think of you?
You are Totally right
what crime did he commit dipshit? none! the democrats/ RINOS are desperate to get rid of trump because he is exposing their crimes’ how can you be so stupid not to understand that, you support people who have screwed you for decades.
Amen tazz!! True!!
He attended a bilderberg meeting, a secret meeting which breaks his oath.
Should we allow Senators to hold secret meetings with the elites of the world or should we hold them to obey their oath and serve the people… a man can’t have two masters!!!
That’s so true .dems always have screwed ppl over ….i think Lindsey is a great senator for s.c. .I just hope he. Doesn’t forget to investigate the investigators…it honestly needs to be done …all young adults are being lied to by the democrats. And they believe everything they say..they just being used for their votes ..the younger generation don’t even fact check the dems ,they just honestly don’t know they are being lied to ,its like they brainwashed the younger generation …and it really upsets me …the kids. Soul heartedly don’t even have a clue….they are totally lost ..
Are you sure you aren’t talking about the Republicans Trump still got impeached and he’s going to go down as one of the worst president we ever had
He’s the best we ever had. He did everything he promised in his campaigne.
The only reason you tried to impeach him is your fear of him. He gets things
done for all of America. A true patriot. He puts the people first. I hope he runs again!
If he does run again, I’m sure Lindsey Graham will lead the charge!
Your waisting your time trying to educate idiot’s. The eat sleep and breeth the propaganda networks. The love to be lied to dayly. It’s kind of a sickness I guess.
