Sen. Lindsey Graham is taking fire from the Right and the Left, a development that has placed the South Carolina Republican in a political quagmire as a challenge to his reelection bid heats up.
Jaime Harrison, Graham’s Democratic opponent, raised more than $20 million during the first six months of the year — enough to mount a credible Senate bid in states far larger than South Carolina. Less than eight weeks before Election Day,
Harrison is using that war chest to flood television airwaves and digital platforms with campaign advertising. Graham has never before faced general-election opposition of this magnitude.
Meanwhile, just after Labor Day, Graham, 65, came under attack from Fox News host Tucker Carlson.
The highly rated television commentator, who has cultivated a loyal following among grassroots Republicans, used his prime-time perch to blame Graham for President Trump’s problematic interview with veteran Washington journalist Bob Woodward. Trump acknowledged privately to Woodward that the coronavirus posed grave risks to the United States even as he minimized the threat to the public. Carlson, bewildered that Trump would talk to Woodward, suggested it only happened because Graham brokered the interview.

Remember how the Fraud would talk about contacting “”our’ Republicans”?
Lindsey was one of the pwned, and still is.
Does Biden remind anyone else of Stewart Smalley in that pic with his pal Graham? :-)

Yes sir

Notice Joe’s not smelling his hair, that means he’s already been there.

We need to keep the senate seat. Even if he does nothing but warm a chair in the Hart Senate Office Building, numbers on our side count.
Hmmmm. To be stabbed in the back or stabbed in the chest. Tough decision on election day.
Harrison is far left
Graham plays both sides of the fence. I can’t stand the bastard, and he can’t be trusted.

It’s amazing, he comes out and says something and people believe him, even today.

If Graham doesn’t win, get ready for the pre-dawn firearms confiscation raids and local media slander campaigns against every arrestee. All who possess firearms will be felons. If we lose the Senate majority and the White House, that may very well happen.

The Dems are never going to let Graham lose.
They’d have to pay many hundreds of millions or more to get someone like him in place on the inside.
GOPe corruption and stupid local voters in the primary.
He’ll win but its nice for him to have a scare in my opinion and to face the voters.
Democrats would do anything in the midst of conservatives to get Graham out of office and take the Senate majority. They’re still burning from the Kavanaugh appointment and their failures to pass gun control.
The time for scare passed with the primaries, IMO.
