What are Trump and the Russians blackmailing you with?

Text of the exchange from Slate:
https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2020/10/jaime-harrison-lindsey-graham-south-carolina-senate-debate.html
"When Harrison hammered Graham on his reversal over filling a Supreme Court in the final year of Trumps term, Grahams strategy required him to just take it.
Senator, how good is your word when you made a promise to the American peopleeven more, you made a promise to the folks in South Carolinathat you wouldnt be doing what youre doing right now? Harrison said. And thats the problem that I have, the greatest heresy that you could do as a public servant is to betray the trust of the people that you took an oath to serve.
Just be a man about it, he said, and stand up and say, You know what? I changed my mind. Im going to do something else. But dont go back and blame it on somebody else for a flip-flop that youre making yourself."

She arrived in Utah yesterday.

That said, I love the portable plexiglass shield!
