Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) seemed to have no qualms about attacking President Joe Biden’s son Hunter during the 2020 election, but at the same time he apparently wanted to remain friends with his former Senate colleague.

According to The New York Times, Graham called Biden shortly after the election to try and repair their fractured friendship, allegedly telling the president-elect that he only attacked Hunter to satisfy Trump supporters—even as he called for a special prosecutor to look into the younger Biden’s business dealings.

Biden, however, was reportedly not interested in patching up the relationship, telling Graham he was trying to play both sides, sources close to the president said. Days after the phone call, the Times noted, Biden remarked to Stephen Colbert that Graham was “a personal disappointment because I was a personal friend of his.”

1. 'Graham was "a personal disappointment'

[Haggard Celine]

2. Lindsey Graham is a crusty little fuckwad, and

I predict that by the time he shuffles off the mortal coil, he won't have a friend left.

[padah513]

4. Leech comes to mind

[True Blue American]

5. That is my thought, too!

Joe Biden and John McCain were friends. Joe spent time with John at his ranch during his illness. He also consoled Meghan while Lindsey was sneaking around inviting Jared and Ivanka though the whole family had made it clear they wanted none of them..

Lindsey is worse than a slithering snake belly. He also screamed and ranted pushing Kavanaugh through.

[Iggo]

11. He doesn't have any now!

[Crowman2009]

15. Oh, like Roy Cohn!

[halfulglas]

3. Nothing personal -- just business. Hope you're not upset or anything.

[stillcool]

6. exactly...so typical

sorry, not sorry.

[albacore]

10. "And if you are upset about me (Graham) getting personal in my attacks...

well, then... you are at fault for being too sensitive."
"Now... let me say a few things about your wife...."

[ShazzieB]

27. I imagine the conversation going something like this....

Lindsey: Hey, all's fair in love and war...and politics. Right, Joe? 😁 Joe? 😉

Joe: 😑

[SWBTATTReg]

7. Graham is a disappointment to everyone and is a poor excuse for a representative, and a coward...

[ShazamIam]

8. Maybe if Lindsey went on Fox's Tucker Carlson or Hannity show and apologized for the

attack on Hunter, but then, Lindsey Graham is one of those, "childless," people Fox recently attacked, I don't think they will let irony or hypocrisy stop them, it never has.

[dsc]

9. wow what a jerk

Honestly Biden would have to be put up for sainthood if he forgave Graham for his, especially given the 'reason' Graham gave. I would actually respect it more if Graham said he believed Hunter was corrupt.

[CentralMass]

12. Lindsey sniffs oligarch butt.

13. My word. Graham is a loathsome POS.

He makes my skin crawl. Worse then Trump because I personally knew many just like him from my days in the good ole boy south.

Two faced racist bigot pretending to be a god fearing soul.

[Crowman2009]

14. F*** off Graham cracker!

[NCjack]

16. Sen. Graham can't repair his relationship with Pres. Biden, because TFG will not approve.

[Justice matters.]

17. Leningrad Lindsey is another criminal caller to Georgia.

Enough said.

[bahboo]

18. yeah...hey Lindsey....fuck you.....

[patphil]

19. Lindsey Graham will always do what he thinks is best for Lindsey Graham.

His friendship is worthless; he's totally untrustworthy.
There's no reason to expend any time or energy fixing a relationship that he would shatter in a instant if it suited his needs.

There's and old saying, "with friends like him, who needs enemies".

[vanlassie]

20. I hope I live long enough to find out what dirt Trump had on Lindsey.

[Carlitos Brigante]

21. But wait a minute. If H. Biden is "the biggest crook of the decade. Right behind the Clintons" (my

words). Why would Graham want to "patch things up"? And not pursue this to the fullest extent of the law? I don't know about ya'll. But I'm starting to think Mr. Graham is not very honest or consistent........

[kentuck]

22. Why now?

Why agree to the Infrastructure Bill?

Why so conciliatory in the last week or so?

Have they finally seen the light?

[AZLD4Candidate]

23. Wow. This songs fits so many times and people.

[Pepsidog]

25. F' You Traitor Lindsey!

[edhopper]

26. Typical Republican

thinks there are no consequences to their actions.

[helpisontheway]

28. Yup! F you if you go after my kids. Especially after everything

Hunter has been through in his life.

[IronLionZion]

29. Nobody likes fake friends like Graham

Graham doesn't realize that Trumpy BS doesn't work on normal people.

[billymerk]

30. sickning

Graham expects to be friends with Biden after he attacked Biden's son? Wow. Graham sold his soul to Trump. If they patched up their friendship, Graham would eventually do something rotten to Biden again. Graham is weak. You don't need friends like that.

[NurseJackie]

31. Lindsey-G. is such a phony! Nobody believes his delicate and proper Southern Gentleman act!

We're all onto you Lindsey-G! It's over! Everyone knows you're a phony! We all know what kind of man you are... no guts... no honor... no shame. Time for that character to crawl back into one of South Carolina's swamps.

[2naSalit]

32. He has no soul...

And, therefore, has no capacity for decency.

[Pisces]

33. He wants to play victim when Biden says no. Who cares. Good bye Lindsey you sold your soul

[MyMission]

34. I'm surprised and impressed with Biden's reaction

Surprised because Biden is a good guy, wants to work across the isle, and they were friends.

Impressed that Biden showed strength, called him out and didn't accept his explanation/offer.

Way to go, Joe!

[BumRushDaShow]

35. "Surprised because Biden is a good guy"

If Biden had still been in the Senate, he would have pre-dated every single one of the senior ones still there (including Leahy, ASS-ley, Feinstein, and Turtle). He was already there when they were first elected to the Senate. He knows where the skeletons are and where the bodies buried.

Just because he does that magnificent grin, doesn't mean he is some pushover.

[MyMission]

38. A good guy who dissed a former friend

Seems like you're trying to misquote me!

I'm not surprised he's a good guy. I know he's tough and been around, but I would have thought he'd appear to mend fences. Again, glad and he's taking a hard line.

[BumRushDaShow]

39. I think there have been a number of "broken friendships"

since this 2020 election and in the case of Graham, it probably happened even earlier after he lost his "shield", John McCain, and he went downhill ever since.

[CaptainTruth]

36. F**k Lindsey Graham. That is all.

[crickets]

37. Oh, Linds.

Way to showcase your grade-A lack of decency and utter lack of shame. Good for Joe standing clear of your vapid, graceless attempt to mend fences. How politically inconvenient for you.
