Little did he know that AOC was ready to hit Graham with one of her signature zingers:
Lindsey Graham has received a check from the government every month since 1995. https://t.co/LCUVCv63xt

Wow, she sure got him and definitely doesn’t look like a petty idiot or anything.
That's his employer, you doorknob

The govt is his employer so his monthly govt check is his paycheck

I, too, receive a paycheck from my employer

Don’t ask her where Bernie Sanders’ paychecks have been coming from.
Oh well. At least she managed to make one decent point, albeit accidentally:

Although if you’re arguing that all of you are overpaid and mostly waste our money, I can’t really disagree. https://t.co/unva0yf4sb
