As the DHS shutdown drags on into its 45th day and the war in Iran blazes on, Sen. Lindsey Graham is busy living it up at Disney World!
Over the weekend, he was spotted having a grand old time, walking around Magic Kingdom holding a bubble wand and dining with Disney characters.
This man is 70 years old, single, and childless, by the way.
Take a look at these photos:

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 Lindsay strolling in the "Tangled" area of Magic Kingdom, carrying a bubble wand. pic.twitter.com/WZIsKRjNOC

Lindsey Graham is in Disney World during recess.
Meeting with constituents of South Carolina?
I never want to hear about recess being anything other than a paid vacation.
Also, is he by himself?
Yikes… pic.twitter.com/Cb0BloFo4W

🚨 JUST IN: Lindsey Graham has been spotted CUTTING THE LINE for Space Mountain at Disney World — just like he does at TSA

The partial government shutdown that began when Democrats refused to fund the Department of Homeland Security has now become the longest shutdown in the entire history of our country.
On Friday, Congress broke for its 2-week-long Easter recess without getting a bill passed to re-open the DHS.
So, I guess Lindsey decided it would be the perfect opportunity to take a hard-earned vacation!
Sen. Graham is getting absolutely blasted online, with many folks pointing out how strange it is for an old man with no wife or kids to pick Disney World as his vacationing spot.
Take a look at some of these comments:
Childless single man at Disney World.
Definitely not creepy at all.

🚨 JUST IN: Lindsey Graham was spotted walking around the Magic Kingdom at Disney World ALONE while carrying a bubble wand, per TMZ
WTF?
Why is a gay, childless, septuagenarian walking around Disney solo? Especially while carrying a child’s toy.
This is disturbing. pic.twitter.com/ZrrKGd6tYK

Lindsey Graham is a 70-year-old man who has never been married and has no kids, wandering around Disney World by himself.

Lindsey Graham is 70 years old.
Lindsey Graham has no kids.
Why is he vacationing alone at Disney like a creep?

Yes, it’s pretty weird.
But, it’s even worse that Senators are allowed to do this in the first place.
While Americans are going without pay thanks to Congress’ failure to get their job done, these politicians are off on vacation treating themselves to dinners with Mickey Mouse!
Matt Walsh put it perfectly:
A lot of people are pointing out how it's weird for a childless old man to go to Disney World, and of course they're right.

A lot of people are pointing out how it’s weird for a childless old man to go to Disney World, and of course they’re right. But the greater point here is that the SAVE Act is not passed, the problem at our airports is not fixed, our country is currently at war, meanwhile the Senate just went on vacation. They should all be forced to work every day, all day, until these crises have been handled. It’s outrageous that these assholes are lounging at Disney World and leaving American citizens to deal with the problems they refuse to fix.
While our country is at war, our airports are a mess, DHS is not funded, and our elections are not secure, Lindsey Graham is wandering around Disney World with a bubble wand. This is an image that should live in infamy. pic.twitter.com/vL0VlHatck

After all the backlash, Sen. Graham put out a statement trying to defend his Disney World trip.
More from TMZ:
Lindsey Graham said he was doing business in Florida, and just made a short pit stop at Disney World, but based on this new photo … he was a full-blown tourist. 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 Lindsay strolling in the “Tangled” area of Magic Kingdom on Friday night, carrying a bubble wand. 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. As for the bubble wand, an eyewitness tells us he was holding it for a little girl while she was in the bathroom. Graham told TMZ … he was at a meeting Friday with Trump officials in South Florida, and he went to Orlando afterwards to meet up with some friends. He said “I voted 7 times to fully fund the government. Call a Democrat.” As we said Sunday, Democrats AND Republicans are to blame — they couldn’t reach a compromise but still booked it out of D.C. Spring Break.
