Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) seemed to have no qualms about attacking President Joe Biden’s son Hunter during the 2020 election, but at the same time he apparently wanted to remain friends with his former Senate colleague.

According to The New York Times, Graham called Biden shortly after the election to try and repair their fractured friendship, allegedly telling the president-elect that he only attacked Hunter to satisfy Trump supporters—even as he called for a special prosecutor to look into the younger Biden’s business dealings.

Biden, however, was reportedly not interested in patching up the relationship, telling Graham he was trying to play both sides, sources close to the president said. Days after the phone call, the Times noted, Biden remarked to Stephen Colbert that Graham was “a personal disappointment because I was a personal friend of his.”

1. Lindsay owes more then a Mea Copa to just Joe Biden

He owes it to all of America. He was almost there on 1/6.

2. Lindsey, you can't fix stupid and that is what you are.

You betrayed Biden and McCain. You smeared Johns record and his sacrifice for this country. You tossed years of friendship into the trash then set it on fire. All this for incompetent ass who has proven to be a traitor to this country. You weak sniveling bastard, you still support him.

As for Joe, you did the ultimate no no. You attacked 'your friends son' and led the call to investigate. You are one sick pup if you think Joe would let that slide.

You made your bed, lay in it. I hope you never have another night of peaceful rest.

3. He owes Hillary an apology too. But you can be certain that she will never get one. (eom)

4. Even if Biden said okay...glad he isn't, Lindsey would turn on him again if it he thought it to be

Politically advantageous to him

Can’t think of a worse kind of person to have for a friend

5. LINDSEY!!!! YOUR SPINE IS CALLING!!!!!!

IT'S WONDERING HOW YOU'RE GETTING ALONG WITHOUT IT.......??

6. Either the Trumpmance is over or...

He's trying to be a double agent

Either way he is not trustworthy

7. Lindsey G has lost whatever soul he ever had. Hunter Biden is the last child of Joe's first family...

Hunter has had his share of troubles, and as someone acutely noted, also seems to be the one into whom the family sorrows have filtered the most. However you parse it, Hunter is a vulnerable soul.

That said, how dare you, Lindsey Graham? Joe thought he knew you; Joe thought you were an actual friend. And now you want him to participate in throwing his only remaining son under the bus because ha-ha it’s a fucking political game?

I am glad Joe didn’t try to let this pass without comment. I wouldn’t be surprised if somewhere inside he just wants to take Lindsey out behind the school and thrash him.

9. I remember seeing Graham tear up, talking about what a wonderful man Joe is

What on earth kind of kompramat would bring him so low?

[Hekate]

10. God only knows

[renate]

8. He's just so despicable. Such a shameless ass kisser. It's disgusting

He’s so vile. Was he always this way, or was he contaminated somehow?

11. Note to Lindsey: Yeah yeah

[betsuni]

12. I hope the ghost of John McCain haunts his dreams and he wakes up screaming in a cold sweat.

Every night.

13. 👆This.

14. Lindsey Graham has no principles.

He has no center. He is unmoored and needy. He attached himself to Trump like a wannabe middle school seeks to hang out with the bully crowd in order to eat at the cool kids lunch table.

He betrayed the trust and friendship with a decent and good man. For what? He did it for popularity with the the miscreant Trump crowd. He doesn’t deserve forgiveness.

It would be rich to know what Biden said to him in that phone call. I bet it stung.

[Ilsa]

15. If it had been anything other than attacking his family,

especially his son, I think Joe Biden would have accepted his apology. Graham doesn't understand parental protectiveness, and went too far.

17. That's my President in action.

Excellent move, Joe Biden. And Lindsey: you're not fucking off nearly fast enough to suit me.

[BlueIdaho]

18. Goddamn disingenuous motherfucker

Of course you apology is not accepted. Burn in hell.

[peggysue2]

19. Graham made his choice

Now and into the future he will face the consequences of choosing a low-life grifter over a man he'd said was the most decent man he had ever known.

Friends don't do that even for political expediency. If anything, it shows what sort of man Graham is: a fair-weather friend, a liar and a man willing to support the most corrupt, inept and vindictive POTUS the country has suffered through while witnessing the attempted overthrow of our government.

Neither friend nor patriot.

Traitor on all fronts!
