Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), a fierce ally of President Trump's, praised Jill Biden’s speech about her husband, presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden, Tuesday night at the Democratic National Convention, calling her an “outstanding person.”
“Tonight, Jill Biden did a very good job representing herself and Joe in the causes they believe in,” Graham wrote on Twitter.
“She’s an outstanding person who has led a consequential life.”
Jill Biden offered an intimate glimpse into her husband and family as the former vice president was officially nominated as the party's presidential nominee, setting him up to go head-to-head with Trump in November.
The Bidens were previously close, personal friends with Graham and others across the aisle.
Graham in 2015 said in an interview with HuffPost that if you “can’t admire Joe Biden as a person, you’ve got a problem.”
“He’s said some of the most incredibly heartfelt things that anybody could ever say to me. He’s the nicest person I think I’ve ever met in politics,” Graham added at the time.
However, the relationship soured as Graham, the chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, has called for investigations into matters related to Biden’s son Hunter Biden and his business dealings in Ukraine.
"Well, you know, Lindsey — I don't know what happened to Lindsey. And we used to be great friends and friends with John McCain," Jill Biden said in February, referring to the late GOP senator from Arizona. "I mean, we traveled together with the Foreign Relations Committee. We've had dinner, you know, and now he's changed."
When asked if she still considers Graham a friend, Biden responded: "You know, it's hard when you, I don't know, consider somebody a friend and then they've said so many things, so many negative things. And it's — that's been a little hurtful."
Joe Biden has echoed a similar sentiment, saying he doesn’t "know what happened” to Graham.
“I am disappointed, and quite frankly I'm angered, by the fact — he knows me; he knows my son; he knows there's nothing to this,” he told CNN’s Don Lemon last November.
Trump was impeached by the House late last year, accused of withholding millions of dollars in security aid for Ukraine for the sole purpose of coercing the country’s leaders to find dirt on the Bidens. He was later acquitted in February by the GOP-controlled Senate.
Stop embarrassing yourself Linda.
It’s DOCTOR Jill Biden, Linda.
And Hannity will have this assclown on 3 times a week until the election.
Who told Linda to prepare for a pedophile presidency?
Has Mitch praised the Rats yet?
His primary is over, fire breathing conservative Lindsey is shelved for the next six years. Reach across the aisle while stabbing the base in the back Lindsey has returned.
The people of South Carolina love him. He is their Knight in Shining Armor. Their darling. Their hero.
Graham sucks up to anyone in power. He’s hedging his bets.
It’s how he has survived in politics this long!
My grandmother used to say, “Always tell the truth as you know it, but remember, you don’t have to tell everything you think you know.”
Remember.. Linda Graham is the only surviving member of Congress that impeached Bill Clinton.. The dirt on him must be piled a mile high. And he is supposed to be on the side of ‘right’. LORD help US, because the ‘right’ is only skin deep.
Jay Leno is busy raising cash for the pedophile.
I knew he was bad when he wouldn’t make fun of the Fraud, but lots here said, “Hey, he’s trying to keep his job.”
Nope, he’s ALL IN against us.
“The people of South Carolina love him. He is their Knight in Shining Armor. Their darling. Their hero.”
I do not think he will be reelected this Nov.
Starts off with a big lie, Flimsey is only pretending to be Trump’s ally for his own re-election.
Right after the election he will be back to trying to get the Democrats a permanent majority with amnesty for illegal aliens.
Well, Lindsey, I guess Joe never asked you to go swimming. ;-)
She is so outstanding that she puts her poor demented husband in the public eye where he is now a laughing stock, all so she can get POWER. Sickening elder abuse.
Love to see Linda on the Sunday Maria Bartiromo show...
She boxes his ears every time about what the hell he has been doing for the past year or two as Chairman of Senate Judiciary...
The guy gets outed every time as a complete blowhard...all talk and no action!
“Next time I come on Maria, you hold me to it...I’m gonna get these Obama guys under oath...blah, blah, blah”...
He finally gets Yates up there and the Pubbies basically gave her a pass through incoherent questioning...
Linda is a phony and a rainbow pansy...
Linda is like the turd that you just can’t seem to flush. Death to traitors.
Wow, that was intense and heartfelt.
Seriously, I’ll bet his speechwriter googled, “Generic positive phrases.”
McCain-Romney campaigns redux...
