Photo Illustration by Victoria Sunday/The Daily Beast/Getty ImagesIsraeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, a bona fide monster, hailed Senator Lindsey Graham as a beacon of “moral clarity.” Donald Trump, a man whose name is now synonymous with corruption and hatred, called Graham “a true American patriot.” Meanwhile Democrats in Washington, praised his warmth or recounted aspects of their friendship with him, calling him a “good man.” The disconnect reveals more about what is wrong with Washington, D.C., than it does about Graham.Read more at The Daily Beast.

Lindsey Graham tributes from Israel and Ukraine point to complicated, often bloody legacy

It was revealing that one of the first tributes to Lindsey Graham, a US senator who died on Saturday aged 71, came from Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel's national security minister, a far-right provocateur who recently caused widespread anger by sharing footage of himself taunting bound activists who had been trying to sail to Gaza with aid. Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, was not far behind, calling Graham a great friend of Israel and a cherished friend of mine, and he was quickly followed by Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who described him as a true defender of freedom and the values that make our world safer...

Lindsey’s Finest Moment

He didn’t always lie: His worst moment was every one after that. I try not to say too much upon the death of people like Graham. Not that he deserves any special respect, it’s just that I always feel kind of creepy about dancing on anyone’s graves, even the bad ones. I will just say this: when it comes to hypocrisy, no one did it better than him. His ruthless condemnation of Bill Clinton’s immorality and dishonesty with respect to women, contrasted with Trump’s, is the best illustration but not the only one.
