The Sunday Skinny — March 8, 2026

Senator Lindsey Graham is scaring Meghan McCain.

John McCain’s daughter Meghan is imploring anyone who will listen to shut Lindsey Graham the hell up, after listening to him blather on Fox News with Maria Bartiromo on Sunday. Ms. McCain says Uncle Lindsey is “scaring people” with his Rambo-esque talk rather than convincing Americans it was a smart move.

Graham told the American public that “we’re going to blow the hell out of these people” when Bartiromo questioned Graham about the increase in oil prices and the increasing cost of war with Iran.

Graham was excited at the thought of remaking the Middle East and “making a ton of money.”

Lindsey also blathered on about how they were going to Make Iran Great Again, and showed off a “Free Cuba” hat, as he claimed they were running through the world getting rid of bad guys.

Trump wore a trucker hat to the dignified transfer ceremony of six American soldiers who died in his war of choice in Iran.

There was a coverup attempt as Fox News aired old footage of Trump receiving dead soldiers at a dignified transfer during his first term.

Fox News Sunday aired old footage of a dignified transfer in December instead of video from yesterday’s dignified transfer, where Trump was wearing a hat.

Fox & Friends: "We want to acknowledge a mistake made earlier on our program. During our coverage of yesterday's dignified transfer, we inadvertently aired video from an older dignified transfer instead of the ceremony that took place yesterday. We deeply regret the error."
