🔴 Lindsey Graham is dead, and death should not require historical amnesia. During his lifetime, Graham was fiercely condemned by detractors as the embodiment of the permanent-war establishment: a relentless interventionist, a neoconservative hawk and a politician seemingly incapable of encountering a foreign conflict without demanding deeper American involvement. Now comes the inevitable canonization, the solemn tributes and the convenient forgetting. But death does not erase a public record. Meanwhile, Tyler Robinson stands accused in a case that too many people have already decided without ever seeing a trial. I believe he is a patsy. The government must prove its case with admissible evidence, not social-media hysteria, prosecutorial assertions or an online mob screaming guilty before a jury is ever seated. Questions are not obstruction. Skepticism is not treason. The presumption of innocence is not a technicality. And then there is Candace Owens, perhaps the lone national voice willing to walk directly into the fire while everyone else runs for institutional cover. She has drawn extraordinary attacks, ridicule and denunciation precisely because she refuses to stop asking questions others desperately want buried. She may be wrong about some things. Everyone is. But the ferocity of the campaign against her should make thinking people more curious, not less. In an age of manufactured consensus, instant verdicts and compulsory conformity, Candace represents something increasingly rare: intellectual defiance. Lindsey Graham is dead. Tyler Robinson is presumed innocent and, in my view, may be a patsy. And Candace may be one of the few people capable of saving us from our own collective insanity, not because she demands that we believe her, but because she still demands that we think. ▶ SUBSCRIBE to the LIONEL NATION Newsletter. https://bit.ly/4ouBt68 ◉ HOW TO SUPPORT LIONEL NATION ================================================================================= ■Pa
