Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) reportedly told President Joe Biden following the 2020 election that he only called out the president's son, Hunter, for his controversial business dealings to please supporters of former President Donald Trump.
Graham had previously requested that a special counsel be named to investigate whether Hunter Biden's business dealings in Ukraine and China resulted in any crimes.
The South Carolina senator had also publicly supported Trump's claims of a stolen election.
And while The New York Times reported that Graham called President Biden shortly after the election to explain why he had attacked Hunter, Graham's office told The Hill that it was the president who initiated the conversation.
Three sources familiar with the conversation said that Graham had also told Biden that attacks against Hunter had not appeased many South Carolina Trump supporters, according to The Times.
President Biden said in December that he was particularly disturbed by Graham's criticisms of his son because of their long-lasting friendship dating back to when the president was a senator.
"Lindsey's been a personal disappointment because I was a personal friend of his," he said at the time.
The president, who was reported to have seen Graham's attacks on his family as unforgivable, said that he would continue to work with any Republican.
Graham once said in an interview that the president was "as good a man as God ever created." But after President Biden said he was disappointed in Graham's attack on his son, the senator said that "It's not personal and it breaks my heart that this happened, but I'm hell-bent on making sure we live in a country where everybody gets looked at when there's a reason."
Linda needs to resign now before he does more damage to America.
Yep; that's the exact right word for that no-spine weasel.

He is a weasel. He and Hannity can tick and tock together.
I’d watch Linda on Hannity and just feel like I needed to take a shower the slim oozed off this guy.
Democrats have a spine.
Well said. I get a feeling he blinks constantly and his head swivels.
DON’T BLAME S.C. VOTERS. MOST OF THEM HELD THEIR NOSE WHEN THEY VOTED. BLAME THE REPUBLICAN PARTY FOR PUTTING FORTH THIS GARBAGE. On a side note the republican party of s.c. has voted to censure lindy. THE S.C. conservatives are working on getting him out of office and other rinos. The republican party gatherings near MB. Have been pretty vocal about how bad things are and what and who they have to change
Who is a likely contender against Lindsey?
Lindsey wishy-washy
STOP HOLDING YOUR NOSE!
Sleazy Graham has no business being in politics. He is a sleaze ball of the highest order. These RINOs are something else.
Yeah, because no law abiding citizen could have a reason to
take Hunter to task. /s
reportedly
Graham is always on Graham’s side.
I don’t want to see his face on Fox EVER again!
Lindsey like a white flag in the wind. He has no firm convictions.
Didn’t work. I ain’t satisfied.
it be a perfect question to ask Graham - does he still feel the same way or is he glad now he criticized Hunter?
Anything to get votes. If anyone thought the 180 Graham did after McCain died was for real, they were just plain fooled. “A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways”. And if Graham isn’t double-minded, I don’t know who is.
