All politics is local according to former Speaker Tip O’Neill, and in MoCo more so. We lost Senator Lindsey Graham over the weekend, and it’s a great loss. 
Not only was he a local fixture for years in the greater DC area (you can have dinner and attend events in Georgetown, Bethesda, or Rosslyn just as easy) our local residents are spotlighted nationally all the time.
Remember the Senator’s outrage at the slurs and unfounded accusations against MoCo resident Justice Brett Kavanaugh when the Democrats (led by then Senator Kamala Harris) said that she believed the woman who accused Brett Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct? Remember how effective Kavanaugh has been in giving women and girls opportunities in the community and in the Courts? Remember when he was targeted for assassination?
I do, and I remember the Senator’s forceful rebuttal to that Party – the same party that last week praised Graham Platner until it became clear he’d lose to a
sitting woman Senator – then threw him under the bus. All the allegations had been forgiven, even charges of assault by a Republican woman – until a Democrat woman came forward and gave them the reason to ask him to quit so they could replace him at the last minute. Even Senators Sanders and Warren, big defenders, came on board at the end, but I digress.
The Chevy Chase Kavanaugh family will miss Lindsey Graham, the National, South Carolina, and Montgomery County Republican families will miss Senator Graham, and the far left National Socialist Democrats will both trash him and say good riddance. The far left press and the cesspool of social media have already started.
Let’s choose the right side. Let’s honor his legacy, give condolences to his family, and not put up with the horrible language of the far left critics. I thank our moderate Democrat neighbors for their condolences. Stop the partisan hatred. Time is short. Let’s put our country and our world back together again.
