Cenk and Marjorie Taylor Greene on Lindsey Graham's war legacy

Jul 18, 2026

A blistering takedown of Senator Lindsey Graham the day after his death, tied to a warning that Trump is restarting full-scale war with Iran — bad news for anyone hoping the US would step back from Middle East wars.

  • Graham is slammed as a warmonger who pushed the Iraq war, backed strikes on Iran, Gaza, and Lebanon, and cheered killing "all the right people."
  • Both Cenk and Marjorie Taylor Greene say Washington's mourning is fake politeness, and it's fair to attack his record now that he's gone.
  • Graham is cast as a servant of donors — defense contractors and the Israel lobby — and of a broader "war economy" that both parties feed.
  • His South Carolina seat, with hundreds of military contractors, will be filled in an August 11 special election by someone they expect to keep the same pro-war line.
  • Trump is said to have torn up the ceasefire and moved to reopen full war with Iran, seen as a betrayal by MAGA voters who wanted peace.

Outlook: Expect a renewed US-Iran conflict and a Graham replacement chosen to keep the same war-friendly agenda in place.
