Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said on Wednesday that he opposes a short-term debt hike being hashed out by Senate leadership and that Republicans shouldn't be "held hostage" due to concerns that Democrats could change the filibuster.
Graham, the top Republican on the Budget Committee, is the first Senate Republican to speak out against the tentative deal that is still being worked out by Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.).
"I do not support the Democrats’ reconciliation package and I do not support raising the debt limit to make that level of spending possible. If Democrats want to raise the debt ceiling they can use the reconciliation process," Graham said in a statement.

Meanwhile he votes in favor of every Leftist lunatic Biden nominates to the Federal courts.
L
Graham opposes short-term debt hike. He prefers a long-term one.
He’ll say the opposite next week. You can’t believe a word this clown says. In many respects, he’s the epitome of a GOP politician.
Or not
Flimsey Grahamnesty has voted for amnesty and a permanent Democrat majority THREE times.
Trusting Graham is more foolhardy than trusting Sessions.
Still defending Bush League Republicans whose main goal is amnesty and a permanent Democrat majority.
Linda did sashay over and cast a big No vote on the ATF nominee Chipman. I’m not sure what happened there, but damn glad it did.
Yes, ‘short term’ debt hike.
I remember the one-year ‘short term’ tax hike they imposed in Erie County, New York back in the 1970’s.
It’s still there, over 4 decades later, and they’ve even given up the farce of ‘renewing’ it every year.
Look at all the Landlords that are getting scr****.
What, does he feel ignored recently and not getting enough headlines?
And like all these damn programs...once they begin...there’s no getting rid of them.
*************
The Republicans don’t even try to get rid of them so there’s no chance of eliminating or downsizing these wasteful program.
The Repukes whine and complain (especially before elections) but don’t do a damn thing.
I wrote my Senator John Kennedy an email to tell him how disappointed that he appears to be one of the Republican Senators to sign on to the debt ceiling short-term extension.
Lindsey Graham ALWAYS plays both ends against the middle and always in the last moments so he won’t have to deliver on his words
