When you pretend Graham was something he wasn't, you only add to the whitewashing.

Don't complain about how Trump is changing or erasing history when praise of Graham is doing just that - trying to change the actual legacy/history of Lindsey Graham.

It's not being well-mannered. It's not being kind. It's not being decent.

It's telling a lie.

His actions caused harm. He enabled others to cause harm.

The scale does not tilt to the good. It bottoms out to the bad.
