Verdict: False

The published article is about an Australian politician, not Graham.

Fact Check:

Social media users are claiming that the Daily Mail, a British news outlet, published an article that claims Graham is a pedophile. The caption reads, “It’s over for Lindsey Graham.”

The photo included with the post contains the Daily Mail logo along with a headline that reads, “Paedophile politician, 62, who plied boys with drugs and sexually assaulted them is accused of breaching parole just four weeks after walking free form jail” and two photos of Graham.

The claim is false. The image has been edited to include the photos of Graham. (RELATED: No, The Atlantic Did Not Write An Article Titled ‘Trump Is Literally Hitler’)

Daily Mail published an article with the same headline in 2020. The article is about an Australian politician, not Graham.

There is no evidence to show Daily Mail ever referred to Graham as a pedophile in an article. Graham is not on the South Carolina Sex Offender Registry and he is 69 years old, not 62 years old.
