MAGA influencer Laura Loomer is facing a fierce backlash online in the US and beyond after using social media on Saturday to push an unverified 'poisoning' theory about Senator Lindsey Graham's death in Washington, just hours after the Republican's passing was confirmed.
Graham, 71, died on Saturday, 11 July, following what his staff described as a 'brief and sudden illness.' According to statements from his office and reports shared by US media, emergency services were called to his Washington, D.C., home over complaints of chest pains. The South Carolina senator reportedly suffered a cardiac arrest. Paramedics carried out CPR at the scene before he was taken to George Washington University Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. Fox News interrupted its usual programming to run tributes to the long-serving lawmaker and close ally of President Donald Trump.
