No Senator is a bigger symbol of Trumpism than Lindsey Graham
at one point, Graham called Trump a xenophobic bigot. Graham then completed reversed curse as Trump's "power" grew, becoming a cartoon-like symbol of the Senate sycophant.
Now, Graham is, like much of the way, openly parting ways with the President AND NOTBALY ON SOME OF THE KEY ISSUES TRUMP RUNS ON FOR HIS RE-ELECTION EFFORT:

Sen. Lindsey Graham has publicly opposed President Donald Trump five times in the past few weeks — including a new rebuke Monday — an unusual torrent of dissent from one of the president’s top allies in Washington just months before the South Carolina Republican faces a tough reelection challenge.
"Graham has blocked a Trump U.S. attorney nominee..."
Graham "criticized Trump’s decision to put a temporary freeze on visas for foreign workers..."
Graham "split with the president about face masks during the coronavirus pandemic . . ."
Graham "pressed the administration for information about alleged Russian bounties on American soldiers."
and the very public (and completely inaccurate) shot with Bubba Waallace
Graham, speaking to Fox News Radio, said Wallace being upset about the noose “made perfect sense to me.”
“I don’t think Bubba Wallace has anything to apologize for,” Graham said, adding that “you saw the best in NASCAR. When there was a chance that it was a threat against Bubba Wallace, [the drivers] all rallied to Bubba’s side. I would be looking to celebrate that kind of attitude more than being worried about it being a hoax.”
and where Trump took the cowardly way out on the Confederate flag:
"Graham also addressed NASCAR’s recent decision to ban the Confederate flag at its events, saying that “if you’re in business, the Confederate flag is not a good way to grow your business.”
GRAHAM IS IN A TIGHT RACE. ITS SHOULDNT BE CLOSE, SO GRAHAM, like much of the GOP, has switched to self-preservation mode.
