Graham attacks NBC as ‘co-conspirator in the destruction of Kavanaugh’
The Hill ^ | 10/01/18 | MICHAEL BURKE

Posted on 10/01/2018 8:07:05 PM PDT by yesthatjallen

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Monday accused NBC of being a "co-conspirator" in an attempt to bring down Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, criticizing the network for its coverage of assault accusations against Kavanaugh.

"They’ve been a co-conspirator in the destruction of Kavanaugh from my point of view," Graham said during an appearance on Fox News's "Hannity."

Graham attacked NBC for reporting last week that the Senate Judiciary Committee had questioned Kavanaugh about a fourth assault accusation. Senate investigators asked Kavanaugh about an anonymous complaint alleging that he physically assaulted a woman in 1998.

The complaint was originally sent to Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Colo.).

Graham on Monday charged that a Democratic senator leaked the allegation. He also suggested that NBC wouldn't have reported the alleged assault if the same accusation were made against a Democratic nominee.

"Do you think NBC would’ve done that if this had been a Democratic male nominee? All I can say is that there the journalistic integrity has been destroyed … regarding this case," he said.

Graham has been a fierce defender of Kavanaugh amid multiple allegations that have been made against the high court nominee. Three women — Christine Blasey Ford, Julie Swetnick and Deborah Ramirez — have come forward publicly to accuse Kavanaugh of sexual misconduct. The Senate Judiciary Committee also questioned Kavanaugh about other anonymous allegations.

President Trump last week asked the FBI to reopen a background investigation into Kavanaugh focused on the accusations of the women who have publicly come forward, after Sen. Jeff Flake (R-Ariz.) called for the probe.

I don't know what happened to Graham.

Maybe after having tried to play nice with the media and seeing how they turned on him in a heartbeat woke him up to the fact the Democratic Media Complex was only nice when you took their side.

Cross the DMC and they're out for blood.

Republicans need to learn they can't play nice with the media.

They should have learned that from Trump.

I’m waiting on seeing if Sen Graham gets Judge Kavanaugh through Confirmation as a Justice of the Supreme Court. Otherwise, he’s a Day Late & Dollar Short. And Sen Graham has a whole heck of a lot to make up for while he was under Sen McCain’s control. I do not miss that senator, not one iota.

Part is that Lindsey Graham likes to have an older brother around to guide him. This was McCain and now it is Donald Trump.
Graham and Trump have been out golfing together. Trump really appreciates all of Graham’s recent efforts.

Graham just told CNN he doesn’t “give a s—t” if they didn’t like him.

This is most likely true considering his parents died when he was young and he protected his younger sister like a father figure. Might explain his celibacy too...then again I’m no Dr. Ford...lol

they certainly didn’t put any effort into investigating Zero, or Weiner, or Jones or Elizabeth (who practiced law for years without a license) or LaRaza Sotomayor, or Kamala, or Lee, or fifty others we can think of off the top of our heads

The depth of Kamala Harris’ mendacity is unfathomable.

Poor Lindseed. He has got himself in between a rock and a hard place and is finding out he isnt the darling he thinks he is.

He is finding out that its a little tougher without his buddy.

I have been very critical of Lindsey the last 4-5 years but I have to admit since no name died he is a change man...no name had something on him and more...hopefully though Graham has changed for the good and will not relaspe...but time will only tell for him. This could be just a one issue deal for him...hope not!
