Comedian Margaret Cho mocked Senator Lindsey Graham following his death at age 71, posting a TikTok saying, "Bye Lindsey, bye Lindsey Graham. From the closet to the coffin, real seamless." Cho, a lifelong Democrat and LGBTQIA+ advocate, also referenced Senator Mitch McConnell's hospitalization, hinting at a third high-profile Republican death. Her followers showed support in the comments. Graham's death was confirmed by a spokesperson on July 12, citing a brief and sudden illness. McConnell, 84, released a statement saying he didn't suffer a heart attack or stroke but was briefly unconscious and treated for mild pneumonia. Jimmy Kimmel also commented on McConnell's hospital bed photo by editing his own head into the image.
