MS NOW host hints Lindsey Graham may be in hell during televised memorial
During live coverage of a memorial service for the late Sen. Lindsey Graham, an MS NOW host slipped in a little quip about where the Republican might be in the afterlife.
Speaking with campaign advisor Mark McKinnon, who has worked for lawmakers on both sides of the aisle, "Money Power Politics" host Stephanie Ruhle turned the conversation to the South Carolina Republican’s membership in what was called the “Three Amigos.”
Noting the powerful partnership that Graham had with Sens. John McCain (R-AZ) and Joe Lieberman (D-CT), McKinnon recalled, “Well, he [Graham] was a politician from central casting; he was kind of like a Mickey Rooney character. And, so, and I mean, that sort of in the best and the worst ways about politicians. I mean, he was a true public servant; I think that was a good characteristic in him. But he also was really needed relevance, which is why he saw this shift to supporting Donald Trump the way that he did, which complicates his legacy, for sure.”
“I got to know him when I worked for John McCain, and he was part of the ‘Three Amigos’ group with John McCain and Joe Lieberman,” he continued, only to have Ruhle interrupt him with, “Yeah, I'm guessing he and John McCain are having very complicated conversations right now if they are in the same place.”
”Yeah, it's interesting,” McKinnon continued. “It's interesting because, even given where Lindsay's gone kind of on Iran, he would make McCain look like a dove right now.”
