Comedian Margaret Cho addressed the death of Senator Lindsey Graham via a critical social media post.
“Bye Lindsey, bye Lindsey Graham. From the closet to the coffin, real seamless. Real seamless,” the lifelong democrat, 57, said in a TikTok shared on Sunday, July 12, after news of the South Carolina senator’s death broke earlier that day. (The sexuality of the former politician was the subject of widespread speculation over the years.)
Cho’s post, which was captioned, “Bye gurl,” also directed commentary towards the health of fellow Senator Mitch McConnell, who has been hospitalized since June 14 after he was found unconscious inside his home. “So, it’s Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham … it does happen in threes,” she continued, seemingly hinting at another high-profile republican. “Hope.”
Cho, a vocal advocate of LGBTQIA+ rights, has spoken out against President Donald Trump’s administration during many media interviews and via social media posts. Her followers mostly share her political viewpoints, with several showing their support within her latest TikTok’s comment section. “It’s been a good week,” wrote one follower, while another wrote, “I have a little extra pep in my step today!”

Graham’s death was confirmed by a spokesperson via an X statement on Sunday. “On the evening of Saturday, July 11, U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham passed away from a brief and sudden illness,” the statement read. “Senator Graham’s family appreciates prayers at this time and asks for privacy during this incredibly difficult period.”
Hours later, the office of McConnell, 84, released a statement that addressed the fellow senator’s own health. “My doctors have confirmed that I didn’t break any bones or suffer a concussion. I didn’t have a heart attack or a stroke. I don’t have any tumors or hemorrhages,” McConnell’s statement read. “But I was briefly unconscious and was taken to the hospital. While receiving excellent care over the past several weeks, I’ve also had to deal with a mild case of pneumonia.”

Cho is not the only celebrity to weigh in on the weekend’s health-related political news. On Sunday, in light of McConnell’s hospital bed photo, Jimmy Kimmel poked fun at the image by editing his own head in place of McConnell’s and sharing his version via Instagram.
