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

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.

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

Wow. Where did this Lindsey come from? I hope he stays around.

Graham looks a little like Churchill in that MAGA hat. Beginning to act like him, too. There comes a time and place when all good people have to stand against the sedition of those who want to destroy their country. Senator Graham is doing that in spades. God bless him! Our Founders risked everything to give us freedom. Now, those worse than King George are trying to take it from us.

And he seems more comfortable in his own skin because of it.

McCain is not just turning over in his grave — he’s revolving in his grave.
