Senator Lindsey Graham, representing South Carolina and serving as Senate Budget Chairman, posted a series of statements on his Twitter account between July 27 and July 28, 2025. His tweets addressed issues ranging from the Russia investigation to Middle East peace efforts and recent tax legislation.
On July 27, Graham criticized media coverage of the Russia investigation, stating: “The Russia Collusion Hoax didn’t start on its own. It’s time for the media to stop providing cover. It’s time for real answers.”
Later that day, he commented on the ongoing conflict involving Hamas, writing: “Hamas stands in the way of peace. The hostages must come home.”
On July 28, Graham highlighted new tax policies under President Donald Trump’s administration. He wrote: “NO tax on tips NO tax on overtime NO tax on Social Security for nearly 90% of seniors As Senate Budget Chairman, I am incredibly proud to have led the fight to ensure President @realDonaldTrump’s historic legislation was signed into LAW. This bill will DELIVER for YOU.” Graham emphasized his leadership role in passing this legislation.
The “Russia Collusion Hoax” refers to claims about Russian interference in U.S. elections and subsequent investigations that began after the 2016 presidential election. These investigations were widely covered by national media outlets and became a point of contention among political figures.
Graham’s comments regarding Hamas relate to ongoing conflicts in the Middle East where Hamas has been designated as a terrorist organization by several countries including the United States.
The referenced tax legislation is part of broader efforts by congressional Republicans and former President Trump to change federal taxation policy—specifically aiming to reduce or eliminate taxes on certain types of income such as tips, overtime pay, and Social Security benefits for most seniors.
