NYT Columnist Jamelle Bouie made a relevant point on his take, today, on the death of Lindsay Graham (on YouTube).
He notes that there is a moral to be recognized by anyone who is currently in a position similar to that of Graham’s (before he died).
After Graham completely rejected Trump in 2015, recognizing that Trump would spell the end of the Republican party as we know it, and repurpose it into a cult of personality, he turned around in the interest of retaining power to become one of Trump’s most devoted sycophantic toadies. This defined his career for the following ten years.
And when he died, Trump was sad that it would impede the passing of the SAVE AMERICA act. He didn’t care at all.
