Graham ignored medical warning for TV appearance

Graham was told he needed immediate medical attention but decided his Meet The Press slot was more important. Days later, he was dead. The quoted tweet reveals he'd been running around the Middle East in his final weeks pushing Israeli-Saudi normalization, exactly the kind of exhausting geopolitical theater that apparently couldn't wait for basic health maintenance. Classic Graham: the grift comes first, everything else second. Dead senator, dead narrative. The Saudi-Israel normalization push he was working on dies with him unless someone else picks it up.
