New York Times: “For four years, Mr. Graham, a man who had once called Mr. Trump ‘a race-baiting, xenophobic bigot,’ exemplified the accommodations that so many Republicans made to the precedent-breaking president, only more vividly, volubly and candidly.”
“But Mr. Graham’s reaffirmed devotion has come to represent something more remarkable: his party’s headlong march into the far reaches of Trumpism. That the senator is making regular Palm Beach pilgrimages as supplicant to an exiled former president who inspired the Capitol attack and continues to undermine democratic norms underscores how fully his party has departed from the traditional conservative ideologies of politicians like Mitt Romney, Liz Cheney and Mr. Graham’s close friend John McCain.”
