Lindsey Graham
Lindsey Olin Graham (born July 9, 1955) is an American politician, who serves as the senior United States Senator from South Carolina, a seat he has held since 2003. Since 2019, he has been the Chair of the Senate Committee on the Judiciary. A member of the Republican Party, Senator Graham has earned an 80.31% Lifetime Score from the American Conservative Union. A native of Central, South Carolina, Graham received his Juris Doctor degree from the University of South Carolina School of Law in 1981. Most of his active duty within his span of military service happened from 1982 to 1988 when he served with the Judge Advocate General's Corps in the United States Air Force, as a defense attorney and then with the Air Force's chief prosecutor in Europe based in West Germany. Later his entire service in the Air Force Reserve ran concurrently with his congressional career. He was awarded a Bronze Star Medal for meritorious service in 2014. Graham worked as a lawyer in private practice before serving one term in the South Carolina House of Representatives from 1993 to 1995. His congressional career began when he was elected to the first of four terms to the United States House of Representatives, representing South Carolina's 3rd congressional district from 1995 to 2003. In 2002, Graham won the U.S. Senate election in South Carolina after eight-term Republican incumbent Strom Thurmond announced his retirement. He won a second term in 2008 and a third term in 2014. A retired U.S. Air Force Reserve colonel, Graham is known in the Senate for his advocacy of a strong national defense and aggressive interventionist foreign policy. Initially, he was also known for his willingness to be bipartisan and work with Democrats on issues like campaign finance reform, a ban on waterboarding, immigration reform, and judicial nominees. He has criticized the Tea Party movement, arguing for a more inclusive Republican Party. Graham ran his first and only presidential campaign between June and December 2015, dropping out before the 2016 Republican primaries began. He was an outspoken critic of fellow Republican Donald Trump's 2016 candidacy and repeatedly declared he did not support Trump; in particular, he took issue with Trump's comments on Graham's close friend, Senator John McCain. Since March 2017, Graham has reversed his stance on Trump and has become a staunch ally of the president, often issuing public statements in his defense. His reversal caught both parties by surprise and sparked much media attention.
Milhares de apoiadores de  se encontraram involuntariamente em um grupo no Facebook chamado "Comunistas Gays para o Socialismo", depois de serem enganados por seus criadores para se juntarem ao que eles achavam ser um grupo eleitoral pró-Trump.

Na quinta-feira, um grupo no  chamado "Stop the Steal", uma referência às falsas alegações do presidente de que  está "roubando" a eleição dos , foi desativado pela rede social por desinformação depois de ganhar mais de 350.000 membros. Outros grupos surgiram em seu lugar, incluindo um segundo grupo "Stop the Steal" que atraiu mais de 40.000 pessoas do grupo original.

Mas menos de 24 horas depois, um administrador do grupo mudou seu nome para "Comunistas Gays para o Socialismo" sem explicação, confundindo os novos membros.

Dezenas de postagens de apoiadores irritados e confusos de Trump perguntaram: "O que aconteceu para parar o roubo?" e, "Por que esse grupo é chamado de comunistas gays para o socialismo?", enquanto outros exigiam: "Tire-me desta página 







Um administrador ainda trollou seus membros dizendo-lhes que a mudança de nome havia sido feita para evitar que o Facebook o reprimisse, e mais tarde disse que o grupo pode ter sido hackeado pelo próprio Facebook. "Estivemos no telefone e trocando mensagens com o Facebook tentando chegar ao fundo disso" – uma piada clara, já que o Facebook não tem um número de telefone de atendimento ao público.
