Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham just issued a statement on the latest Kavanaugh allegations, calling them "outrageous" and warning his fellow Republicans that if they bail on their Supreme Court nominee "we deserve our fate."

Here's the full statement:

“Judge Kavanaugh has just emphatically denied the recent allegation being levied by Michael Avenatti and his client. He says he does not know the woman in question and emphatically denies the accusations. I would remind everyone that dozens of women who knew Judge Kavanaugh during the time period in question completely vouch for his good character.

As Rush said today, Lindsey Graham is a different person since John McRino died. And I agree...

[Simon Foxx]

Murkowski & Collins & Flake.

Do I need to say more? I am not optimistic at this moment.

If two of them “go wobbly” the nomination is defeated.

[Democrats hate too much]

Globalist Graham wishes

[Deplorable American1776]

I guess you can't be nominated for the USSC...😋

[YogicCowboy]

Some of them want to.

Ha ha - I have been hearing about a replacement party for years - never gonna happen, but keep on repeating it over and over.

[Republican Wildcat]

This is probably accurate - they would deserve it. Unfortunately the rest of us would not...but that’s a difficult motivation. Because, unless the Democrats win control of the Senate, this whole thing is academic regardless of how it turns out on this nomination (except to Kavanaugh itself) - they cannot ultimately stop a conservative justice being confirmed unless the Democrats win control of the Senate. Then we could be permanently screwed.

Glad to see him fighting.

Who is this person inside Graham’s body? Certainly not the guy who used to follow John McCain so closely that if John stopped quickly it would have taken a proctologist days to extricate Graham’s head.

Questions Surface About Julie Swetnick’s Claims: She Was in College When Brett Kavanaugh Was in High School
So-called "women's advocate" never warned young women they were in danger of rape

Swetnick claimed that in 1981-82, she “became aware of efforts” by Kavanaugh, Judge, and others to “spike” the punch “at house parties I attended” with the intent of incapacitating a girl who could then be gang raped. She said she witnessed Kavanaugh and Judge lining up outside a room waiting for their “turn.”

She also said that in 1982, she was a victim of gang rape, while drugged, with Kavanaugh and Mark Judge “present.”

However, according to the New York Times, “Ms. Swetnick grew up in Montgomery County, Md., graduating from Gaithersburg High School in 1980 before attending college at the University of Maryland, according to a résumé for her posted online. "

Judge Kavanaugh graduated from Georgetown Prep in 1983.

Excactly, you PRIMARY RINOS, you don’t let their co-conspirators in the Democrat party win seats.

They have no leverage on Flake none. The only hope is Mitch putting real pressure on the 2 Rino sisters and pence breaking the tie. It seems like a long shot.
