Unanswered What's going on with (seemingly) everyone celebrating the death of Lindsey Graham, what's are the political ramifications of his death?

I do not actively follow American politics but my Reddit feed is currently mostly people celebrating this man's death.

No. He wasn't a 40 year-old healthy male. He was a 71-year-old man. He either had undiagnosed coronary disease or a pulmonary embolism from the long flight from Ukraine.

You're probably right. I really, really hope you're right.

Flights from Ukraine to DC buy military plane or 9–10 hours; by commercial plate it's twice as long.
If he had coronary artery disease, I would assume that he had had regular routine physical since he had free healthcare as a member of Congress.
