Lindsey Graham shares new look after Disney bubble wand photo

  • Senator Lindsey Graham faced criticism after TMZ published photos of him vacationing at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, during a partial government shutdown, with images showing him holding a "bubble wand" while federal workers remained unpaid.
  • Meghan McCain, daughter of the late Republican Senator John McCain, criticized the trip on X, writing that South Carolina can "do better" than a representative holding a "bubble wand" at Disney World while the Department of Homeland Security remains unfunded.
  • Graham defended the trip, telling TMZ he traveled to South Florida on Friday to meet with Trump official Steve Witkoff regarding Saudi Arabia and Israel normalization before visiting friends in Orlando, maintaining he voted "seven times to fully fund the government."
  • On Monday, Graham attempted to shift the narrative by posting a photo holding a shotgun in Edgefield County, South Carolina, claiming he "spent some time breaking clays," though critics dismissed the post as "damage control."
  • The partial government shutdown continues to leave federal workers without pay while Congress remains on a two-week recess, with both Republicans and Democrats blaming each other for failing to reach a funding compromise.
