Summary
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) was hit with another round of ridicule Monday after new photos appeared to show the lawmaker “carrying a bubble wand” while visiting Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, and amid the ongoing partial government shutdown that has left tens of thousands of federal employees unpaid, TMZ reported.Graham received pushback on Sunday after photos emerged of him dining at Disney World’s Chef Mickey’s, with criticism centered around the optics of a member of Congress visiting a theme park as tens of thousands of Transportation Security Administration employees continue to work unpaid.On Monday, TMZ received a fresh batch of photos of Graham, only this time, photos that appeared to show the lawmaker acting as “a full-blown tourist,” the outlet wrote.“Someone who answered TMZ's call to shoot photos and videos of members of Congress on vacay – while thousands of federal workers go unpaid – shot this pic showing [Lindsey] strolling in the ‘Tangled’ area of Magic Kingdom on Friday night, carrying a bubble wand,” TMZ reported.“The area is like a fantasyland, which is on the nose – Congress is living in one, with each side blaming the other for its failure to reach a compromise that would reopen the government, believing voters are buying what they're selling.”An eyewitness reportedly told TMZ that Graham was holding the bubble wand for “a little girl while she was in the bathroom.”Graham previously confirmed to TMZ that he had visited Walt Disney World, but only due to being in the area on official business."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,” Graham told TMZ in its report Sunday. “I went to Orlando to meet friends after. I'm already back in South Carolina."Lindsey Graham lives it up at Disney World during the partial government shutdown!Take a look: https://t.co/MuKOLhjQX4 pic.twitter.com/RKX665BPCt— TMZ (@TMZ) March 30, 2026
