Lindsey Graham's sister failed to make a convincing case

Lindsey Graham has a new commercial out which features his sister Darline acting as a character witness and recounting how Lindsey helped to raise her due to their being orphaned at an early age.

She's likable and convincing and and I see no reason to be skeptical of her story. However, there is a leap of faith required of the voter here. Lindsey's generous nature with his sister is being pitched as a reliable predictor of what his treatment of ALL South Carolinians will be during another term. This seems to be based on a fallacy, as Republicans have an overly tribal nature generally speaking and can often play favorites with members of their own "tribe".

So your mileage may vary if you are a Democrat, a minority, an immigrant, or aren't a close relative of his.

Didn't he take over the family business too, like a bar or something?

Of course now that Lindsey used that to prop up his alleged good deed, now he wants to kill it for everyone else to be on their own. After all, it is socialism to Lindsey after he took it.
