Washington Bid Farewell to Lindsey Graham with Minions and Roast Jokes

Original version ·

When a long-time senator dies, one expects a somber ceremony, but Lindsey Graham got a standup routine instead.

The funeral brought together world leaders like Benjamin Netanyahu and Volodymyr Zelensky, but Donald Trump stole the mic to reminisce about their chaotic friendship.

Back in 2016, Trump famously leaked Graham’s personal cell phone number on national television during the primary. Instead of hiding, Graham went to see the animated movie Minions with a friend's six-year-old kid, handed the ringing phone to the child, and had him answer every random caller asking why they were calling Lindsey.

He eventually destroyed the phone on camera, changed his number, and proceeded to call Trump non-stop for the next ten years anyway.

Political rivalries in D.C. apparently end with ten years of relentless phone calls and a theater full of yellow cartoon creatures.
