While a sibling taking over after the death a brother or sister is almost unknown, it is common with a spouse or child:
As I understand it, Graham was his sister’s legal guardian from the time she was 13, when their parents both died within a year and a half of each other. So, there’s that wrinkle too.
Evidently Kash Patel was feeling like there weren’t enough conspiracy theories about Lindsey Graham, so he decided to stoke the fire. At the end of his condolence tweet Sunday, he added “the FBI is assisting local authorities and has made every necessary resource available.”
Attention parasite or complete idiot? Why not both?
Just a half dozen posts before yours was this post:

I’m just glad he lived long enough to watch us lose the war he so desperately fought for his entire career.
Which war is that? Not trying to be snarky; there are so many on which LG was representing the wrong side.
