Sen. Lindsey Graham’s admission on Fox News that he owns an AR-15 to fight off hoards of “gangs” coming to his house after a natural disaster was greeted with rolled eyes and massive mockery on Sunday morning — with one critic dismissing his boast by writing, “Only gang he will see are selling cookies.”
Speaking with Chris Wallace, the South Carolina Republican stated, I own an AR-15. If there’s a natural disaster in South Carolina where the cops can’t protect my neighborhood, my house will be the last ones that the gangs will come to because I can defend myself.”
And with that, the ridicule of Graham began — as you can see below:
I, for one, did not have “Lindsey Graham picking off gang bangers in a Road-Warrior-post-apocalyptic-South-Carolina” on my bingo card. https://t.co/kHeZ3s0EEY

Lindsey Graham has an AR-15 because of gangs. You know, all those gangs in his neighborhood who are after him since he switched from Bloods to Crips🙄.

Folks like Graham all over, living in ruby red states, in gated or close neighborhoods, terrified of what's outside of their bubbles, demanding that the last .oo something % of risk to them be eliminated at the cost of democracy itself.

I'm Lindsey Graham, and I'm counting on the "gang" that comes to loot my house to be very forgetful and not remember to bring their own guns to battle me and my trusty AR-15

.@LindseyGrahamSC, the last thing my daugher saw was an AR 15 as she ran down the hallway at her school in Parkland. One shot severed her spinal cord and killed her. Are you seriously OK with announcing to future school shooters that they need an AR-15 to feel truly safe? https://t.co/2kvbIxVytg

If Lindsey Graham ever encounters a gang he’s fucked whether he owns an AR-15 or not.
