Lindsey Graham Proved What’s Wrong With American Politics

Sen. Lindsey Graham’s sudden death has prompted tributes from across the political spectrum, but Chris Cuomo argues that honoring someone’s life doesn’t mean ignoring their legacy. Chris examines Graham’s remarkable rise from a difficult childhood to one of the most influential Republicans in Washington, while confronting the political transformation that defined his career. From calling Donald Trump a religious bigot during the 2016 campaign to becoming one of Trump’s closest allies, Chris argues that Graham’s evolution reflects a political system that rewards access, loyalty, and power over principle. Chris also explores January 6, the SAVE Act, Ukraine, Iran, Israel, Benjamin Netanyahu, Brett Kavanaugh, media coverage of Graham’s death, and why he believes Graham’s career should serve as a cautionary tale — not simply about one senator, but about what American politics increasingly rewards.
