Lindsey Graham Goes Off on Democratic Challenger in Tweetstorm For Requesting Negative Covid Test Before Next Debate

Sen. Lindsey Graham facing a tough battle for his South Carolina Senate seat from Democratic challenger Jaime Harrison, and took to Twitter Friday afternoon to complain about being asked to take a coronavirus test before Friday evening’s scheduled debate. According to late breaking news reports from South Carolina, the debate format has changed.

Graham, who was first elected to the Senate in 2002, has been virtually tied in the polls with first-time candidate Harrison for several months. The last debate matchup between the two candidates went viral for the plexiglass barrier that the Harrison campaign set up to protect their candidate, but that also drew attention to video clips of Harrison’s answers, winning the former South Carolina Democratic Party chair praise for his thoughtful answers.

The past week has featured a stream of stories about positive coronavirus tests for President Donald Trump, a growing list of people on his campaign and White House staff, and several Republican Senators, including some with whom Graham was in contact as a part of the Senate Judiciary Committee and recent events for Supreme Court nominee Judge Amy Coney Barrett.

On Thursday, Harrison tweeted that he was “excited for tomorrow’s debate” with Graham, “but we need real leadership in this pandemic.” Accordingly, Harrison continued, he and the debate moderators had agreed to be tested for the coronavirus before the debate, and he called for Graham to “do the same.”

1. Sounds like Mr. Graham is having a touch of the vapors! Oh my!

[634-5789]

2. MY Stars and Garters! What...I say, what ever shall we do?

[Dave in VA]

3. Someone sounds a little desperate?

Maybe he only wants those tested who have had their head up a positive covid orange hemorrhoid's ass for 4 years.

STFU Linseed!

[Walleye]

4. What's the problem? Does he think he has it? He's coming from a hotspot

[Raven123]

16. I don't think the Senate can afford to lose a other vote for SCOTUS nominee. Another positive test..

Even if he has no symptoms, he may well test posted given that many GOPers decline precautions.

[Walleye]

18. That makes sense

[SoonerPride]

5. Lindsey has a glorious future ahead of him as a Fox News contributor

And former senator

[Laelth]

6. I wonder how that will play in SC. n/t

-Laelth

[Iliyah]

7. If he test positive he wouldn't be able to push the US SC open seat . . .

tainting the US SC court is important.

[MontanaMama]

8. Graham needs to submit to a test.

He hangs out with super spreaders.

9. Hey Leningrad Lindsey

What have you done about the virus, Senator?

You have more power than Jamie Harrison. So, What have you done?

Where's DeathPanel Grassley? He was so concerned about DeathPanels, and yet more people have died in 7 months then the whole 8 years of Obama/Biden.


You guys are so predicable!

10. Lindsey Graham's reaction....

.... to a reasonable request could be found in the dictionary under the word "desperation".

[helpisontheway]

11. Did they take a test before the last debate? Nt

[torius]

25. Graham tested negative on Oct 2

He got a test because he interacted with Mike Lee of the Rose Garden Covid Party of Sept. 26.
The last Graham-Harrison debate was Oct. 3.
So even though Graham tested negative on the 2nd, he could register positive by now. He ought to test and quarantine.
I don't know if Harrison got a test before the debate, but it makes sense he would get one now since he was exposed to Graham on the 3rd.

12. Someone needs a mint julep and a paper fan.

[George II]

15. I'd post an animated GIF from "Gone With The Wind" but some people don't like it.

[LakeArenal]

21. Yeah. I get it. But "frankly, I Don't Give A Damn

[George II]

23. Hah! Yes you get it. I'm sure glad though that you didn't say "Frankly my dear......."!!!!

[LakeArenal]

26. 💋

[wcmagumba]

13. Just say it Lady G, you know you want to...you know "the word"...

you and drumpy and all of your ilk use in private...

[Kali]

14. what an ass

[KatyMan]

17. Dog whistle?

Harrison is "putting himself above others". No doubt he had to stop himself from saying Harrison was getting uppity.

[JohnnyLib2]

27. Yup.

[cry baby]

19. The whining makes me want to donate to Harrison again.
