The U.S. flags are already half staff for Sen Lindsey Graham........

I certainly do not mind the flags being at half staff for Graham--but there was a problem for Trump to do so for McCain.




Trump attacked war hero John McCain for years — called him a loser because he was captured, stating he prefers “heroes who weren’t caught,” and resisted lowering flags to half-staff for TWO DAYS after McCain died.

But for Lindsey Graham flags are already down.

Why? Because Graham bent the knee and became a deplorable Trump loyalist.

Draft-dodging Trump with fake bone spurs never missed a chance to spit on real heroes who opposed him.

Who else finds this disgusting?

If a prominent Democrat should pass away, God forbid, he would only offer up mean tweets, and will try to avoid even the slightest demonstration of respect like flags at half-staff.
