....................Republicans continued to express outrage at their Democratic colleagues and the timing of Ford's allegation becoming public. Some, including Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said that while they believe something traumatic had happened to Ford in the past, they also believed that Kavanaugh had nothing to do with it.
"I know I am a single white male from South Carolina and Ive been told shut up, but I will not shut up," said Graham, who put his fury on display during the hearing less than 24 hours earlier.
Graham suggested his party has the right to nominate, and confirm, a nominee of their choosing.

(82,849 posts)Such a high-strung emotional fellow. Shrill, even. Doesn't like being told things by women. Part of the problem? Certainly not part of the solution. As for whether elections matter, Sen. Graham, I submit that the 2012 election didn't matter. Ask Judge Garland about that, you hypocrite.

(83,751 posts)Women have been told to sit down and shut up all our lives, not that you care. You told Dr Ford to sit down and shut up today.... not on your life. You and your buddy Kav looked deranged, vicious and displayed out of control rage. Two scared whitemen. Try being more like Dr Ford and show some dignity.
