But that glowing praise didn’t sit well with many America First voters who haven’t forgotten the real Lindsey Graham—the same career politician who once called Trump “a race-baiting, xenophobic, religious bigot” on CNN during the 2016 primary season.
Let’s rewind the tape, shall we?
This is the same Lindsey Graham who, back in 2015, told voters to “tell Donald Trump to go to hell.” The same guy who accused Trump of being unfit for office, mocked his foreign policy as “gibberish,” and said Trump supporters were embracing “demagoguery.”
It gets worse.
Graham publicly slammed Trump’s treatment of war hero John McCain and accused the former president of peddling conspiracy theories about President Obama and Senator Ted Cruz’s father. And after January 6th? Graham didn’t hesitate to throw Trump under the bus, calling the event “a self-inflicted wound” and declaring, “his actions were the problem, not the solution.”
This isn’t just ancient history. Graham has been a loyal foot soldier for the political establishment for decades. He’s backed endless wars, rubber-stamped bloated military budgets, and cozied up to every interventionist conflict that came across his desk. From Syria to Ukraine, if there’s a foreign war to be had, Lindsey’s usually first in line.
He’s also played footsie with the open borders crowd, working alongside Democrats to push amnesty-lite immigration deals. And when it comes to Trump’s fiercest enemies in the GOP—think Mitt Romney and the late John McCain—Graham has always been a willing ally.
Despite occasionally showing up to support Trump when it’s politically convenient, Graham’s record tells a different story. He’s the kind of Republican who smiles in your face while quietly aligning with the very forces that have tried to sabotage the MAGA movement at every turn.

So when Trump says Graham is “always there when I needed him,” many are wondering: Which Lindsey Graham is he talking about? Because the one grassroots conservatives know has spent more time undermining America First than fighting for it.
The response from the base has been swift and unforgiving. Social media lit up with disbelief, with many calling the endorsement “a slap in the face” to those who’ve fought tooth and nail to drain the swamp.
And it raises a bigger question: How many more times will the conservative base have to be burned by these so-called allies before they say enough is enough?
The time has come to stop rewarding betrayal with reelection. Lindsey Graham may be Trump-endorsed—but he’s not America First-approved.
The movement deserves better. South Carolina deserves better. And most of all, the American people deserve better than another six years of Lindsey Graham.
