Graham Says 'Witness Coaching' Part Of Dem Attempt To Undermine Kavanaugh

Source: Talking Points Memo



By Kate Riga

September 24, 2018 11:11 am

In a Monday tweet storm, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said that “coaching witnesses” and “reporting thinly-sourced stories” are part of Democrats’ attempt to undermine President Donald Trump by torpedoing his Supreme Court nominee.








Graham has previously maintained that “unless there’s something more, I’m not going to ruin Judge Kavanaugh’s life” referring to professor Christine Blasey Ford’s sexual assault accusation. Apparently a second allegation of sexual misconduct from Deborah Ramirez has not changed Graham’s mind.

"What we are witnessing is the total collapse of the traditional confirmation process for a Supreme Court nominee.

It is being replaced by a game of delay, deception, and wholesale character assassination."

explain the gop complete ignoring of President Obama's SC nominee, Garland? This Kavenaugh stepped up to the plate, with all his dirty laundry (supposedly) hidden. Now it is being exposed. The "party of family values" is also being exposed. I wonder if Lindsey has a story of his own about K to tell?

"What we are witnessing is the total collapse of the traditional confirmation process for a Supreme Court nominee." And it started back with Merrick Garland. Nothing that the republicans have done with the Kavanaugh nomination resembles "traditional confirmation process" either - withholding relative documents and refusing to let some witnesses testify.

Lindsey Graham is using the republicans favorite tactic, accuse your opponent of what you are doing.

He appears to have caved 100% on this issue. There is dirt on him at work, I imagine.

All of those crusty, old, white male Senators have the dirt on the backs of their necks. What's the color of Graham's dirt, i wonder?

I don't remember the last time - or indeed if ever - I witnessed a guy do such a contemptible headlong reversal on his public statements about tRump or his agenda. His voice up until McCain's death was always a bit measured in his response. I guess McCain had been a somewhat mitigating influence on his public persona. Not now. Makes me wonder if he was one of the first guys to get wind of the allegations hanging over ol' Kav's head like the sword of Damocles. People have whispered and speculated about Graham for decades. And while it wouldn't phase a Democrat, his constituents certainly wouldn't feel the same way, though they're down with child exploitation and date rape.

MSM has been reporting Kavanaugh has been spending hours at the WH being coached. Coached including session with questions coming from other Senator and staff.

And get this, he is refusing to answer personal question including those about his sexual behavior while in prep school and college.

So stop whining Lindsey this isn't going to be a completely stacked hearing. Stacked by the GOP for their advantage.

One question though. What do the Russians have on Lindsey that frightens him into this corner supporting Trump and Kavanaugh? It must be good.
