The New York Times profiled Lindsey Graham on Saturday, pondering his ass-kissing ways:
In mid-November, as he was publicly urging Trump to keep up the election fight, Graham made a previously unreported phone call to President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr., to revive a friendship damaged by his call for a special prosecutor to investigate the overseas business dealings of Biden’s son Hunter. It was short, and not especially sweet, according to three people with direct knowledge of the exchange. Graham told Biden that, in attacking Hunter, he had done only the bare minimum to satisfy Trump supporters back home. (A Graham spokesman disputed that account.)
“Mr. Biden, who viewed Mr. Graham’s statement as an unforgivable attack on his family responded by saying he would work with any Republican, but dismissed the approach as Mr. Graham trying to have it both ways, two people close to the president said. ‘Lindsey’s been a personal disappointment,’ Mr. Biden said a few days later, ‘because I was a personal friend of his.'”
