Quite frankly, the election is literally less than a week away at this point and people are getting increasingly tired of the nonsense. The ads. The disgusting, below the belt attacks. The constant, blatant begs for funding. The mere idea that there’s even a modicum of a chance that we could be subjected to another four years of this torture and despair that is the Trump administration and a GOP-stacked Congress. All of it is just a lot. And it seems we’re not actually alone in our weariness of this ridiculousness.
It seems that even Trump’s own beloved Fox News is over it. At least when it comes to one of the President’s biggest sycophants, South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham.
Here recently, the GOP senator who’s up for reelection this year himself has been using up all his airtime on the GOP-friendly network to pretty much beg for donations to his reelection campaign. And Fox seems to be tired of hearing it.
Yesterday, during an appearance on Laura Ingraham’s show, Graham made not one, but two separate pleas for donations to his campaign as he remains locked in a toe to toe race against his Democratic challenger Jaime Harrison. But the senator wasn’t able to make it all the way through the second less-than-humble beg before the network cut him off.

Graham has managed to raise $28 million in the third quarter of the race, but it’s peanuts compared to the $57 million raised by his Democratic challenger — a fact that Lindsey has stooped to pathetically whining about during his relentless pleas for money.
Graham’s begging has gotten so bad, in fact, that CNN actually put together a handy little supercut:

You’re screwed, Lindsey. And you know it. It’s just pathetic at this point.
