Senator Lindsey Graham dedicated his life to serving the people of South Carolina and the United States.

Throughout his career, he stood resolutely in defence of democracy and freedom, most recently and particularly with Ukraine and its people.

I offer my condolences to Senator Graham’s family, friends, and all those who served alongside him.

It’s real. Apparently Joly and Anand also chimed in.

      Why the fuck is the Canadian prime minister commenting on the death of an American senator AT ALL??? What a fucking joke.

        To kiss ass.

        Kissing ass is 99% of a politician’s job. If it seems like they’re not, they’re kissing your ass.

          Bullshit. Name one other international political leader mourning the death of this cockroach. Not even fucking Trump cared.

            Let’s see, going by this article, Zelensky, Stubb, Netanyahu and Kestutis Budrys (who’s apparently the Lithuanian leader).

            Xi Jinping probably can’t be bothered for a mere senator, but it’d be surprising if many of the Latin American leaders don’t also offer a tribute.

      Shoulda said nothing. I highly doubt anything material and good comes from this message. Saying nothing would’ve avoided the rest.

        And who the fuck is out there demanding the Canadian PM say something about a relatively old American senator dying of an illness? Literally the only reason to ask for a comment is to try to incite some inflammatory bullshit from one angle or another.

      Some would say being authentic goes a long way these days. Artificial platitudes don’t land like they used to.

      I keep wondering if Carney is gambling on the rapist kicking it sooner rather than later and just spewing platitudes to keep rapists eyes on other things.
