Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) is facing criticism over the ongoing conflict in Iran after photos posted by TMZ showed the senator on a trip to Disney World.
Critics said the trip calls his judgment into question and makes him look out of touch during a crisis.
“He goes to f***ing Disney World while they deploy to Iran, and he’s blowing bubbles?” former Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly said on the Megyn Kelly Show Monday.
Kelly reacted to the images, showing Graham holding a bubble wand at the theme park. Additional images showed Graham at a restaurant.
“This feels like some kind of weird fever dream I’m in,” Kelly added.
Kelly said, “Let’s be honest, Lindsey Graham pushed this more than anyone. And the nerve to then go blow bubbles at Disney while our troops are endangering themselves because he wanted them to. I find this so heartless, so f***ing tone deaf.”
Graham told TMZ on Sunday, “I was invited to a lunch in South Florida on Friday with Trump official Steve Witkoff and many others to talk about the possibility of normalization between Saudi Arabia and Israel. I went to Orlando to meet friends after. I got back to South Carolina on Sunday.”
“I voted 7 times to fully fund the government. Call a Democrat.”

Graham posted a photo on X of him holding a shotgun on Monday with the caption: “Spent some time breaking clays in Edgefield County today. Doesn’t get much better than that.”
Graham’s office provided no additional comment at this time.
