It slips out. I have no doubts that Graham looks back fondly on the days of segregation. He just doesn't normally say it out loud. I mean maybe a dog whistle but not direct like that. However if you think racists things you also say racist things even if you don't mean to.

We saw into the real Lindsey Graham there.

that she wished she was back in the good old days when she could sit at the table and be served by docile, subservient black men.

I wish Lindsey would go to wherever she disappeared to...
