Joy's Lindsey Graham Obit: He Was a Traitor and a Coward | The Joy Reid Show

In this TJRS show clip, Joy Reid reflects on the life and legacy of Lindsey Graham, who died over the weekend. She reminds viewers that Graham wasn't always a Trump sycophant — he once called Trump a "race-baiting, xenophobic religious bigot" and "unfit for office." But Graham sold his soul for access to endless war, betraying his best friend John McCain, his friendship with Joe Biden, and his own conscience. Joy plays clips of Graham's 2016 takedown of Trump, his January 6 speech where he correctly warned about repeating the horrors of Reconstruction, and his cruel interrogation of Ketanji Brown Jackson. She closes with Michael Fanone's brutal obituary: "Rest in piss, you worthless scumbag."
