South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster ® has appointed Darline Graham Nordone, the sister of the late Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.), to fill the remainder of her brother’s term in the Senate on Monday following the GOP senator’s sudden death over the weekend.
Nordone is expected to only serve the rest of Graham’s current term through January. A separate special GOP primary will take place in August for the full six-year term.
“Today, under the law, it’s my duty to — and honor — to name someone to serve in the place of this irresistible man, this irreplaceable man, this extraordinary man for the remainder of his term,” McMaster said at his announcement. “Lindsey took care of his little sister in years long departed. It’s my honor to ask his little sister, Darline Graham, to finish his work for him now.”
Since when are senate seats inherited by the next of kin?
Watch when one of his other siblings brings this up in a fight over his will and tries to put a dollar value on it so they can say it was worth as much as one of Lindsey’s houses or whatever they want
this irresistible man, this irreplaceable man, this extraordinary man
This is a bit gay isn’t it?
Maybe the fake-news media omitted the “No Homo!” bit from his quote. Everyone knows that makes it not gay. 😆
Just a coincidence that the most qualified person happens to be his sister.
The people yearn for the return of monarchy. Apparently.
Except “the people” didn’t choose this
Yes they did.
How so? She was appointed by the governor, wasn’t she?
I’m genuinely interested in seeing what the folks of South Carolina are saying about this, from large forums to the kitchen table.
She’s on the right team so they probably don’t care.
It’s my honor to ask his little sister, Darline Graham, to finish his work for him now.
Ah yes, his very important work of ensuring the Senate doesn’t ever do anything useful.
I’m sick of these “royal” families thinking they run everything in this country. Their ineptitude and gumming up the legislation is part of the point - just to consolidate more $$$ and influence for themselves.
Irresistible?
I mean, he probably suck the chrome off a trailer hitch. Some folks can’t resist good dome.
“Today, under the law, it’s my duty to — and honor — to name someone to serve in the place of this irresistible man, this irreplaceable man, this extraordinary man for the remainder of his term,” McMaster said at his announcement.
It’s pretty easy to resist Lindsey Graham.
Please tell me she has a butch haircut and only wears male clothing.
