Margaret Cho video mocks Lindsey Graham death, triggers conservative outrage
Comedian Margaret Cho posted a short video that began, “Adiós Lindsey, adiós Lindsey Graham,” mocking the death of Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, who has been a vocal anti‑LGBTQ figure. The clip was reposted by the account Libs of TikTok, a platform known for anti‑LGBTQ commentary, and was subsequently highlighted by Fox News.
The video ignited a wave of backlash from conservative commentators and social‑media users, who accused Cho of celebrating a death and warned that she might become a target for boycott. Some users also suggested former President Donald Trump could be the next subject of similar mockery. The controversy remains centered on the intersection of entertainment, politics, and LGBTQ issues in the United States.
