Lindsey Graham Wants You to Know He’s a Manly-Man, NOT a Disney Adult

Ever since TMZ enlisted the masses in a mission to capture photos of lawmakers enjoying spring break festivities amid the partial government shutdown, an influx of shitty iPhone pics of politicians out and about spread across the internet. The frontrunning victim of the stunt was Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), who was caught at various hotspots around Disney World over the weekend. Graham retaliated in the manliest way possible—posting a photo of himself shootin’ stuff, as if we would all forget the photo of him by himself in Fantasyland.

On Friday, the first photo surfaced of Graham (seemingly) dining alone at Chef Mickey’s, a Disney resort restaurant where characters talk to patrons as they eat. But if that wasn’t enough to humiliate him into hiding, the next set of photos released showed Graham in Fantasyland carrying what appears to be a children’s toy. Could it be a princess wand? A Princess Ariel figurine? A souvenir cup? We can’t be sure, but whatever it was, it probably cost 60 bucks. But after a long weekend of getting roasted on Twitter, he traded the toy for a rifle.

“Spent some time breaking clays in Edgefield County today,” Graham captioned his Monday tweet, along with a photo of him aiming the sporting rifle. Ah, yes, breaking clay with the boys. Masculine AF. Just dude things. “Doesn’t get much better than that,” he added. (But of course, we know what would make it better is if Minnie and Mickey Mouse were there with him, like at Chef Mickey’s.)

Also, is a rifle any better than Mickey Mouse? It’s image control, but he’s still not at work on a Monday…

“I was invited to a meeting in South Florida on Friday with Trump official Steve Witkoff … to talk about the possibility of normalization between Saudi Arabia and Israel. I went to Orlando to meet friends after.” Graham told TMZ, “I’m already back in South Carolina.” Interesting. So he’s not denying he rode Space Mountain…

“I voted 7 times to fully fund the government. Call a Democrat,” Graham continued. Right, and would Graham also like to explain that he voted for a bill that wants to suppress women and trans voters, and pour even more money into ICE?

I get why Graham wants a break, since he’s been on a non-stop tirade against women and gay people for the last 20 years. So, if he’s looking for some more “normalization” in his life, I’d urge him to retire. And if Lindsey really is a Disney adult, I hope that one day he can finally accept himself and live with pride.
