Lindsey Graham's Legacy as an EXPERT Politician

What was said

"Al Franken, you know, when he was in the Senate, there was some interview that he gave where he was complaining that all the senators try to tell him jokes and how annoying it was. And he said basically the only one that's funny is Lindsey Graham."

Michael Knowles recounted his single meeting with Senator Lindsey Graham during the first Trump impeachment, describing him as the funniest guest he ever interviewed and noting that even political opponents like Al Franken acknowledged Graham's humor. Knowles argued that Graham's likability and political effectiveness stemmed from his ability to work across party lines while remaining loyal when it mattered most, contrasting him with politicians who isolated themselves through rigid opposition.
