Evangelist Billy Graham, who died Wednesday, will lie in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda from Wednesday, Feb. 28, to Thursday, March 1, according to an announcement from House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky). Members of the public are invited to pay their respects. Ryan and McConnell will take part in a service upon the arrival of Graham’s casket.

I R confused. Why is he being given this... honor? Whatever you call it when you get displayed at Congress after you die.

Anglin of Daily Stormer has been writing some articles about this guy. Anglin is not a huge fan of him but he gives him dues. Apparently he was very uneasy about what jews were doing in this country but he was also conflicted because he attracted a huge following of right wing jews due to his Zionist stance on Israel.

I've never really heard of this guy but apparently he was kind of a big deal in politics.

Here's one of the DS articles fwiw.

I don't recall the details, but he had a long-standing association with the players on Capitol Hill.

Sad that he died? Sad that I asked a question? Sad state of the union? Sad that we only have one M class planet?


So it's a BFD ... he's only the 4th non-elected official to be given this honor.

Since Henry Clay in 1852, the U.S. Capitol Rotunda has been used as a place to pay tribute to the Nation’s most distinguished citizens. Made available for public viewing in the Rotunda, persons who have “lain in state” traditionally have been military officers or elected American officials, including 11 U.S. Presidents. In 1998, to recognize two Capitol Police officers who died in the line of duty, Congress granted use of the Rotunda for their caskets to “lie in honor.” Rosa Parks is the third private citizen to lie in honor in the Rotunda.

David Duke is claiming he ran arms for Israel. I have no idea if he's been figurative or literal.
