Graham's Disney Trip Sparks Outrage Amid Shutdown

0:00On March 31, South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham caught heat for hitting up Disney World right after Congress wrapped without funding the government. Photos popped up showing the 70-year-old Republican, chilling at spots like Chef Mickey's and the Magic Kingdom, all while a partial shutdown left. Federal workers without paychecks. This all unfolded during a shutdown dragging on for over 45 days, hitting agencies under Homeland Security like TSA and ICE. TSA screeners dealt with long airport lines and no back pay until recently, as Democrats and Republicans bickered over funding. Social media lit up with folks roasting grants priorities, calling him out for Mickey Mouse Fun, while everyday workers waited on wages. Even celebs like Will Be Goldberg and Anna Navarro piled on, questioning why politicians jet off on break when feds are hurting. Graham clad back, saying he voted seven times to fully fund the government and blame Democrats. He explained the quick Orlando trip was just to link with friends before heading back to South Carolina.
