Far-left streamer Hasan Piker called the late Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., “bloodthirsty,” among other names, in a video posted to his YouTube channel on Sunday, after the senator died on Saturday of a brief and sudden illness.
“We like to take a look at the true worth of a man. We like to take a look at what these members of Congress have actually done. Not the way that they cover it in mainstream media, but instead, the way of what their impact is and the way it should be covered. I’ll start off by saying Lindsey Graham, in a long list of demonic entities, was exceptionally bloodthirsty. A bloodthirsty odious monster who loved war. There was never a war that Lindsey Graham did not fall in love with,” he said.
Graham, 71, passed away on Saturday after suffering from an “Aortic Dissection due to Arteriosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease,” according to the medical examiner’s report. The medical examiner emphasized that the findings are not final and that Graham’s death certificate will remain pending while toxicological and microscopic testing is completed.

“Lindsey Graham is pro-life and yet Lindsey Graham has died. Now, today we’re going to be talking about his legacy, as many of the outlets are rushing to talk about Lindsey Graham’s background and how wonderful of a guy he is and how awesome he was and polite conversations. We of course don’t do that here on the HasanAbi broadcast,” he said.
Piker was among several political commentators to jump on Graham after his death. Piker initially mocked a post on social media honoring Graham’s relationship with Israel, by commenting, “lmao.”
“The Young Turks” co-host and executive producer Ana Kasparian responded on X to the announcement of Graham’s death with two words.
“Good riddance,” Kasparian said.

Far-right political commentator Nick Fuentes also posted the same response online.
“Good riddance,” Fuentes said.
Co-creator of “The Young Turks,” Cenk Uygur, took to social media to mock Graham’s record by imagining the senator carrying his arguments into the afterlife.

“Lindsey Graham has moved on to the next step in his journey, trying to convince Hades to attack Zeus and Poseidon,” Uygur said. “He says it’ll only take a couple of weeks and won’t require any ground troops. And there’s no way Poseidon can close the Strait.”
Former MSNBC analyst and Lincoln Project co-founder Steve Schmidt called Graham a “lonely and unprincipled man who betrayed his country for power and his decency for attention” in a Substack post on Sunday.
Graham also received several tributes praising his work from his allies in the government, including President Donald Trump.
Trump wrote on Truth Social that Graham “was always working,” and called the Palmetto State senator “a true American Patriot.”
