Republican Senator Lindsey Graham is once again getting roasted on Twitter, after complaining in a video about the wall at the southern border with Mexico having a hole in it.

Graham's complaint comes in the wake of Democratic President Biden having signed an executive order that halted all work on the wall, a signature piece of legislation for former Republican President Donald Trump.


Graham expressed his outrage in a video posted to Twitter.

In the video that began his Twitter thread, Graham criticized the Biden Administration for the gaping hole in the wall.

Graham said the hole in the wall, which is along the Arizona border with Mexico, makes the entire wall useless and requires extra personnel to patrol the border.

As he explained in the video:

"They're having to use labor-intensive efforts of manpower. They're having people watch and ATVs going up and down. If they would just build these two panels, they could take those resources and apply it somewhere else."

Graham did not mention that that is precisely how the border was patrolled for decades before the wall was built.

And as for resources, Graham also neglected to mention the extraordinary sums of money that were necessary to build the wall in the first place.

An October 2020 report by The Texas Tribune and ProPublica found that just the original contracts with the Army Corps of Engineers alone, which totaled $788 million, have since more than tripled, ballooning to more than $3 billion.

And much of the funding for the wall has come from reallocated money taken away from other endeavors, such as the military budget and programs to fight drug trafficking.

All this for a wall that experts on the matter, many of them Republicans, warned Trump and politicians like Graham would not succeed in preventing illegal immigration or drug trafficking.

On Twitter, people lambasted Graham for his statements about the wall.











Biden's executive order halting the wall's construction lasts for 60 days. His administration has not said what, if anything, will happen after that period expires on March 21.

GOP Senator Gets Blunt Reality Check After Comparing Trump Tariff 'Pain' To Home Renovation

Montana Republican Senator Tim Sheehy was criticized after he tried to compare the "short-term pain" of President Donald Trump's tariffs to home renovation, a claim so ridiculous that CNN's Kaitlan Collins quickly pushed back on the analogy.

Trump has repeatedly referred to April 2 as “Liberation Day,” pledging to impose tariffs—taxes on imports—to reduce U.S. reliance on foreign goods. He has framed these tariffs as “reciprocal,” aiming to match the duties other nations place on American exports.

Liberal Wisconsin Judge Calls Out Elon Musk In Victory Speech—And It's Everything

Liberal judge Susan Crawford called out billionaire Elon Musk in her victory speech after winning a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, basking in successfully beating her Republican opponent Brad Schimel and ensuring that the nonpartisan court’s narrow 4-3 liberal majority remains intact despite Musk's efforts to sway the race.

Musk fueled the high-stakes race, having poured more than $20 million into supporting Schimel, according to state campaign records. That includes $3 million to the state Republican Party—$2 million of which was donated just last week. Due to state election laws, large contributions must be funneled through political parties before reaching candidates.
