Senator Pushing for Web Gambling Prohibition has Never Used Email

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina has never used email though he claims to know plenty about the perceived dangers of Web gambling.

Graham is the co-author of legislation that seeks to prohibit most forms of online gambling, though horse racing, most state lotteries and fantasy sports will remain exempt. The bill is backed by GOP mega donor and casino billionaire Sheldon Adelson.

“I don’t email,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (Republican-South Carolina) told “Meet the Press” Sunday while discussing the controversy surrounding former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton’s use of a private email server to presumably conduct government business. “You can have every email I’ve ever sent. I’ve never sent one.”
