Senator Lindsey Graham dedicated his life to serving the people of South Carolina and the United States.

Throughout his career, he stood resolutely in defence of democracy and freedom, most recently and particularly with Ukraine and its people.

I offer my condolences to Senator Graham’s family, friends, and all those who served alongside him.

It's real. Apparently Joly and Anand also chimed in.

Why the fuck is the Canadian prime minister commenting on the death of an American senator AT ALL??? What a fucking joke.

To kiss ass.

Kissing ass is 99% of a politician's job. If it seems like they're not, they're kissing your ass.

Bullshit. Name one other international political leader mourning the death of this cockroach. Not even fucking Trump cared.

Let's see, going by this article, Zelensky, Stubb, Netanyahu and Kestutis Budrys (who's apparently the Lithuanian leader).

Xi Jinping probably can't be bothered for a mere senator, but it'd be surprising if many of the Latin American leaders don't also offer a tribute.

Appalling, but fair enough. No less disappointed in the Carney statement.
