Megyn Kelly recently criticized Senator Lindsey Graham after images surfaced of the Republican senator enjoying himself at Disney World with a bubble wand in hand.
Kelly’s remarks were prompted by the photos of the South Carolina senator visiting the Magic Kingdom while President Trump was contemplating deploying troops to Iran.
On her SiriusXM radio show, Kelly expressed her disapproval, saying, “He’s eager for the deployment of thousands of our soldiers, yet what is Lindsey Graham doing to support these troops and their families risking their lives? He’s at Disney World.”
She further ridiculed Graham, noting that as a “single man without a wife, children, or grandchildren,” he was seen “wandering around with a bubble wand.”
Commenting on the 70-year-old senator’s choice of activity, she exclaimed, “There he is, in the heart of Disney, with a bubble wand. I mean, really? Just look at him.”
‘There he is in the middle of Disney with a bubble wand. I’m sorry, but motherf***er! Look at him,’ she said of the 70-year-old.
Kelly kept asking herself ‘is this real?’ at the sight of Graham – with the Senate currently on recess – could be seen at the happiest place on earth while the US potentially gets further involved in the Middle East.
‘He’s pushing to take all of our troops and put them in danger so he can get off because he hasn’t been getting off, at least not with a woman, that’s obvious, for his life. And now he goes to f***ing Disney World while they deploy to Iran, and he’s blowing bubbles?’

Graham told TMZ of his Sunday brunch, ‘I was invited to a meeting in South Florida on Friday with Trump official Steve Witkoff … to talk about the possibility of normalization between Saudi Arabia and Israel. I went to Orlando to meet friends after. I’m already back in South Carolina.’
He also added, ‘I voted 7 times to fully fund the government. Call a Democrat.’
Kelly was less than impressed with the explanation.
‘Who gives a s***? No one cares. You went to Disney. Our troops are about to deploy, and are deploying right now because you pushed our president into it,’ she said.
While she reminded her audience that Trump ‘has agency’ and can make his own choices, she still lays the blame at the longtime South Carolina Senator.
‘Let’s be honest, Lindsey Graham pushed this more than anyone, and the nerve to then go blow bubbles at Disney while our troops are endangering themselves because he wanted them to. I just find this so heartless, so f***ing tone deaf,’ she said.
‘I’m just angry about his influence over President Trump, and I’m angry that I have to look at pictures of him with his bubble wand, and I’m angry.’
The Daily Mail has reached out to Senator Graham for comment on Kelly’s broadcast.
Graham was seen at Disney World in Orlando, having breakfast with Mickey Mouse amid the ongoing shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security.

An image of the Senator at the ‘Most Magical Place on Earth’ made the rounds on X on Sunday after being originally published by TMZ.
Per TMZ, the South Carolina Republican was enjoying Sunday Brunch at Chef Mickey’s at the Contemporary Resort at Disney World. The unmarried and childless Graham was reportedly seen with a younger woman and a child.
A second TMZ story published Monday alleges that Graham was at Disney World on Friday evening as well.
X users were quick to point out the hypocrisy of the Senator taking the trip while Federal workers at the Department of Homeland Security have now missed two paychecks, and delays at TSA checkpoints due to a lack of workers are plaguing travelers at airports across the country.
Graham came under fire for claiming earlier this month that when he goes ‘back to South Carolina, I’m asking them to send their sons and daughters over to the Middle East’ to fight the war with Iran.
Fellow Capitol Hill lawmaker Robert Garcia, a Democrat who represents California, was also snapped enjoying his Spring Break, captured at a Las Vegas Casino on Sunday.
Garcia’s spokeswoman told TMZ that the Congressman was visiting his father, who has lived in the area for 15 years.
The Californian himself replied to TMZ’s story about him on X, noting, ‘actually I don’t mind what tmz is doing here. Like the story says my dad has lived in Vegas for 15 years and I had just finished lunch with him. I try to see him whenever I can.’
‘And like I said a few days ago, Speaker Mike Johnson should have never sent us all home,’ Garcia also noted, throwing jabs at his political opponents.
During a tense hearing on Capitol Hill on Wednesday, Democrat and Republican lawmakers each blamed the opposing party for the shutdown while questioning leaders of TSA, CISA, FEMA, and even the Coast Guard.
Acting TSA administrator Ha Nguyen McNeill warned lawmakers during the hearing that if workers miss another paycheck on Friday, the total amount of missed wages would exceed $1 billion.
The DHS shutdown is now in its sixth week.
