Comedian Margaret Cho is facing backlash after a video circulating on social media Sunday showed her mocking the death of the late Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and appearing to suggest that President Donald Trump could be next.

“Bye Lindsey… Bye Lindsey Graham. From the closet to the coffin, real seamless. Real seamless,” Cho said in a video posted on Facebook.

Cho continued her rant, appearing to suggest that Trump might be the next to die, and including the hashtags, “#resist” and “#fdt” in her post, among others.

“Um, also yeah, Mitch McConnell. So, it’s Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham… it does happen in threes. Hope,” Cho said.

Graham, 71, passed away at 10:23 p.m. Saturday. An autopsy was done on Sunday suggesting that Graham passed away from aortic dissection due to arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease.

A statement from Graham’s office read, “The death certificate will be PENDING until all the toxicological and microscopic testing are finalized, and at that point the death certificate will be updated to reflect the cause of death and appropriately classify the manner of death.”

McConnell, who has been hospitalized for almost a month, said in a statement Sunday that he has been recovering from a fall.

“My doctors have confirmed that I didn’t break any bones or suffer a concussion,” McConnell said. “I didn’t have a heart attack or a stroke. I don’t have any tumors or hemorrhages.”
