Senator Lindsey Graham’s passing on Saturday evening represents a great loss to our public life. Senator Graham had a special moment of greatness in the 2018 Judiciary Committee hearing on the nomination of then Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. Senator Graham not only rose to Kavanaugh’s defense, he called out his Democrat colleagues on the committee for the disgusting charade they had performed in the attempted assassination of his character. We remember, but let us take a momement to look back and reflect.
Sept. 27, 2018 — Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) at Kavanaugh confirmation hearings: "I hope that the American people will see through this charade. And I wish you well. And I intend to vote for you and I hope that everybody who's fair minded will."pic.twitter.com/9cUwYVCNDB
