Prior to becoming one of the staunch supporters of disgraced former President Donald Trump, South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham was known for his friendship with now-President Joe Biden. A new report revealed that Graham sought to make amends with Biden following the South Carolina lawmaker’s attack on his son Hunter Biden.
The New York Times reported that Graham got in touch with Biden in an attempt to make amends in their friendship not long after the 2020 presidential elections, where Biden won against Trump for the presidency. The call follows Graham’s public comment calling for an investigation into Biden’s son Hunter Biden and his business dealings in Ukraine. Trump and the GOP’s targeting of Mr. Biden was one of the contributing factors that led to the first impeachment proceedings against Biden’s predecessor.
At the time, Graham said he loved Biden, but he believed that Hunter’s business dealings were shady. According to the report, Biden criticized Graham, saying that his remarks against his son were an “unforgivable attack on his family.” Biden went on to accuse Graham of trying to play both sides.
According to the outlet, Graham explained that he went after Hunter in order to pander to the former president’s supporters. A spokesperson for Graham, however, denied that such a conversation took place.
In a December 2020 interview, talk show host Stephen Colbert touched on Biden’s friendship with Graham and pressed the then-president-elect if he would ever make amends with the South Carolina Republican. Biden then said that Graham was “a personal disappointment,” noting their friendship.
Previously, Biden took to social media to note one year since he announced Kamala Harris to become his vice president during his campaign. Harris would ultimately become the first woman, first Black American, and first South Asian to get elected in the vice presidency. Harris would also be the third woman to join a major party ticket, following Sarah Palin and Geraldine Ferraro.
“One year ago today, I made one of the most important decisions I’ve ever made: Selecting my vice president. I couldn’t have asked for a better partner and friend on this journey. Thanks @VP for all you do,” tweeted the US leader last week.
