Lindsey Graham has time to golf, but not to help a veteran

Graham has his priorities wrong

I’ve been trying since January 1993 to have my military record fixed. For the past 12 years I’ve been calling and emailing Lindsey Graham’s office begging for his help. He won’t take my phone calls or return them.

Please explain to me: If he’s so busy that he will not help a military member, how he finds the time to play golf with the president.
