A Republican group is launching a new ad targeting Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) after the House on Wednesday voted in favor of impeaching President Trump.
The new Republicans for the Rule of Law ad quotes Graham pushing the Senate to allow witness testimony during the impeachment of former President Bill Clinton, the group announced Wednesday.
“Once upon a time Lindsey Graham was in favor of a fair impeachment trial,” a narrator says in the 30-second ad.
It then cuts to a clip of Graham during the time of Clinton’s impeachment, telling reporters: “In every trial that there has ever been in the Senate regarding impeachment, witnesses were called. When you have a witness telling you about what they were doing and why, it’s the difference between getting the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.”
“Lindsey Graham, the rules of a fair trial haven't changed, why have you?" the ad narrator continues. "Let the witnesses testify."
Graham said Wednesday that he will reject attempts to call witnesses during Trump’s Senate trial, and on Sunday he said he is ready to vote and doesn’t need to hear from any witnesses.
The ad will run on digital platforms and air as a commercial during Fox’s “Fox and Friends” and MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Friday in D.C. It will also run on “Morning Joe” in New York City.

Holy crap. It’s a never Trumper wet dream. Look at their “projects”.
Here’s the nice way these lib never Trumpers call the rest of us Nazis:
“Yet today, the Republican Party finds itself entertaining some of the same unsettling nativist and authoritarian impulses that characterized Europe throughout the 20th century.”
And as we now know, essentially an ultraleft, warmongering Zerobot Totalitarian.
“Defending Democracy Together”
You know it’s ridiculous when they don’t even know what form of government we have.
The kind of “Republicans” who want Demonrats in the majority and in the Presidency and Fake Republicans agreeing with their open-borders insanity to turn America into a turd-world $hithole.
They’re obviously trying to help Graham with his re-election. Pretty unusual for liberals to help Republicans re-up.
Their website lists a few names of “legal advisers” none of which are familiar to me, and probably not to anyone else.

Rats at work in disguise
“Once upon a time Lindsey Graham was in favor of a fair impeachment trial,” a terrorist says in the 30-second ad.
Edited for accuracy.
Republicans for the Rule of Law is directed by Bill Kristol, a conservative commentator who worked for Vice President Dan Quayle but is a vocal critic of Trump and Pence.
These arrogant clowns have no idea the hell that will descent on the Party of Lincoln should Trump lose in 2020. I expect him to win but if he doesn’t it’s RIP GOP.
I don’t understand something. The House is the “discovery and indictment” part of this process. They have DONE the investigation, discovered he evudence. Now, the Senate is to be a jury and RULE on that evidence. Ted Cruz in Fox this morning was talking about witnesses in the Senate trial. Since when is a jury allowed to call a witness? What the hell are they doing?
And Nancy Pelosi once said this ... (replace the word Republican with Democrat)
“Today the Republican majority is not judging the president with fairness, but impeaching him with a vengeance,” then-House Minority Leader Pelosi declared in December 1998.
She continued, “In the investigation of the president, fundamental principles which Americans hold dear – fairness, privacy, checks and balances – have been seriously violated, and why? Because we are here today because the Republicans in the House are paralyzed with hatred of President Clinton. ... Until the Republicans free themselves of that hatred, our country will suffer.”
