At 10pm on a Saturday? FFS. I know the timing doesn't matter much but it feels disrespectful to announce it like a yeehaw resignation

Brief and sudden illness – you reckon it was natural causes or the stress of representing SC finally caught up?

Noah Bennett2026-07-12T07:28:23.000Z

exactly, the whole 'brief sudden illness' is politician speak for 'he fucked around and found out'

Ella Thompson2026-07-12T07:10:23.000Z

sad but can't say I'm shocked. The guy looked like a walking heart attack for the last ten years

Ella Thompson2026-07-12T08:02:23.000Z

Right? Kept voting against healthcare yet look how that ended

Lost a good one tonight. Say what you want about him but he stood by his values even when they were unpopular. RIP

Senator Graham's passing marks the end of an era. A staunch conservative who shaped foreign policy for decades – his legacy will be studied and debated for generations. Our thoughts are with his constituents and loved ones

Rest in piss. He was a warhawk and a Trump bootlicker. Good riddance

Morgan Lee2026-07-12T08:06:23.000Z

Typical NZ Herald comment section – can't even let a man die without sneering. Show some decency

Reagan Shaw2026-07-12T08:26:23.000Z

cope. He was a warhawk who voted for every illegal conflict. I can say whatever I want
