The Stanley Cup Finals and the NBA Finals both get started this week and I wanted to have a special mailbox question for Memorial Day on my blog. I’d like to give thanks to all the brave men and women who have served our country and made the freedoms we all enjoy possible. Don’t ever take our Constitution or our freedoms for granted.
Thank you.
Unlike Donald Trump, who used every nuance of the deferment ruse to avoid serving his country–John McCain was a bona fide American war hero and my question on this Memorial Day Mailbox centers on John McCain.
Q: Gene from Reno, Nevada asks: Mike, I like the blog. You seem fair and not partisan to one ideology slant from the far left or far right. What do you think of Lindsey Graham’s behavior since the death of his ‘friend’ John McCain?
A: Gene, thank you for the excellent question. Oh, boy. What I think is Lindsey Graham has become a national embarrassment and is close to challenging Ted Cruz as the most unlikeable current member of the U.S. Senate.
His overt political alignment with Donald Trump is a disgrace to his friend John McCain. If I resided in South Carolina —he would not be a source of pride to me in any manner possible. He has become what I would describe as a pure political whore in the purest since. Hopefully–at some point we don’t see him on Fox kneeing in front of Trump with our president’s pants on the floor.
I hope my answer isn’t vague or ambiguous.
That’s what I think of Lindsey Graham and it’s sad for me because he used to be one of the GOP senators I actually thought was somewhat interesting.
Thanks for the excellent question, Gene.
Great answer! Hope you are above water!
