Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina — a onetime 2016 Republican presidential contender who often clashed with Republican nominee Donald Trump throughout the campaign — voted for independent candidate Evan McMullin for president on Election Day.

During a recent interview with Business Insider, Graham said he voted for the conservative McMullin, an ex-CIA operative and House Republican policy leader who entered the race in August.

"Well, I voted for Evan," Graham said. "He shares my view of the world, he was on the ballot, and I couldn't go where Trump was taking the party, and I certainly couldn't go where Clinton is going to take the country either."

"So I was sort of a man without a choice, and I thought Evan was, for a lack of a better word, a protest vote for me," the senator added. "I couldn't write anyone in in South Carolina."

Graham announced his vote on Twitter on Tuesday.

"I appreciate his views on a strong America and the need to rebuild our military," he wrote.

Thanks for reminding how irrelevant Graham is.

Who cares how you voted? Are you that self important that you think masses of sheep care?

Looks like your typical liberal, their "word" means nothing to them. They possess no sense of honor and are therefore douchebags.

"South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, who signed the pledge Tuesday as part of filing to run in the Feb. 20 primary, said he doesn’t think Trump should be allowed to appear in the next televised debates for Republican White House hopefuls on Sept. 16 until he agrees to support the party’s eventual nominee."

Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina

Another infantile asshole still laying on the floor kicking his feet in a temper tantrum because he couldn't put on a smile and walk into the White House.

One thing is for sure....this leaves Kasich on the outside looking in....unless something blows up in the next 4 years Kasich has an 8 year wait to run....pretty much sitting on the sidelines. I am sure he will try to make amends but we'll see how far that gets him...

That settles the rumor. We now know for sure Evan McMullin is gay.

As of now I don't think Kasich could even win Ohio.

I'm surprised he didn't vote for Cher.
