White House hopeful Lindsey Graham
Lindsey Graham’s parents are Florence Graham and Millie Graham.
Graham did not grow up with money, and would reportedly take baths with water that was heated up on a stove, “At the age of 12, he was working at the downstairs pool hall, racking tables to help with his family’s financial struggles,” wrote Politico.
Shortly thereafter, his father died in his sleep after a massive heart attack, a grim discovery made by his then-13-year-old sister.
Although he was brought up in a bar, Graham speaks highly of his parents, even if “parents would probably lose custody of their children today if they let them behave as independently and as rascally as I did,” he said.
