Senator Lindsey Graham, a Republican from South Carolina, addressed several national and international issues in a series of posts on October 12, 2025. The topics included criticism of the Department of Justice under President Biden, opposition to continued funding for the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), and comments regarding an impending hostage release.
In a post at 15:29 UTC, Graham wrote: “The Biden DOJ crossed every line there is to cross. It may bother Democrats and the mainstream media that people are finally being held accountable, but it doesn’t bother me one damn bit.”
An hour later, he addressed government spending on healthcare: “Whether the government’s open or shut, I’m not voting to keep pouring billions into a failing Obamacare system.” This statement follows ongoing debates about federal funding for the Affordable Care Act. Since its passage in 2010, the ACA has faced persistent challenges from some Republican lawmakers who argue that it is financially unsustainable and should be reformed or replaced.
Later that day at 18:00 UTC, Graham commented on developments in an international hostage situation: “Tomorrow will be a great day for freedom as the hostages are released. This could be the start of a lasting peace, but I still don’t trust Hamas as far as I can throw them.” The reference highlights skepticism toward Hamas despite optimism over the potential release of hostages. International negotiations involving Hamas have frequently been met with mistrust by U.S. officials due to concerns about security and past incidents involving hostages.
Graham’s remarks come amid heightened political tensions surrounding both domestic policy—particularly health care—and ongoing foreign policy challenges related to Middle East conflicts.
