During an appearance on Wednesday’s broadcast of FNC’s “Jesse Watters Tonight,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) warned there could be more trouble ahead in the wake of the threat aimed at Supreme Court Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh’s life uncovered earlier in the day.
Graham blamed rhetoric from Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and the inaction of Attorney General Merrick Garland for what he deemed to be the “logical extension” of the threat of violence.

Lindsay voted to confirm Garland.

Jesse had Graham on last night and he was excoriating Garland. I was hoping Jesse would ask him, do you regret your vote to confirm him.
Human Garbage Graham is a rubber stamp for every Dem appointee. The Queen of assistant Dems.
I'm waiting for the first US politician to publicly admit that we have state sponsored terrorism going on within our own country. Because that is what this is.
We have political prisoners, too.
Democrats probably secretly want violence to happen, and soon... before the mid terms.
Even the ones who don’t are accomplice to it. When you move what is equivalent to the overton window of what is acceptable to your base farther and farther to the radical left by saying things like protests in front of justices homes are valid discourse, the edge of that window moves over too, telling nutbags that violence is valid.
They don’t care. As long as they don’t cross the line of incitement (Shumer got sorta close, Maxine Waters got VERY close once, but not about justices), they don’t care. They will accept attrition and collateral damage for the cause. There is no honor or virtue among these people, and the only operating rule is to present a facade.
What do you want him to do? Be specific.
The minority party doesn’t have the power to “do” anything.
I wish he would shut his festering yap.
Like a tick that has burrowed in, he is going to be in office until he dies.
And he’s going to ‘investigate’...
I can’t keep up with whose side he’s on.
“ What do you want him to do? Be specific.”
Publicly regretting his vote for Garland and admitting it was a mistake would be a good first step.
Then he could publicly ask House members to introduce Articles of Impeachment against Garland.
He could also announce that he will filibuster every single piece of legislation brought to the Senate floor until Garland is removed or resigns.
He could say he’s going to work to deny the Dems a quorum on anything until Garland is gone. Encourage his colleagues to walk out of every committee meeting and vote on the floor.
Those would be at least something.

Sounds like Linda is making a threat.
It’s going to be BLM V2.0 - The Summer of Love Continues.
Last time was blacks and now it’s womyn. The Dems are kicking their NPC drones back into action.
What does this accomplish? The vote was in the past. It changes nothing.
Then he could publicly ask House members to introduce Articles of Impeachment against Garland.
What does this accomplish? The GOP doesn't control the House. Pelosi decides what comes to the floor. Every member of the GOP could decide to introduce Articles, which would then be thrown into the trash. Again the minority party can do nothing.
He could also announce that he will filibuster every single piece of legislation brought to the Senate floor until Garland is removed or resigns.
What does this accomplish? (Apart from applying additional pressure to Manchin and Sinema to change their mind and actually nuke the filibuster?) Regardless, the filibuster doesn't quite work that way. Read the Senate rules.
He could say he’s going to work to deny the Dems a quorum on anything until Garland is gone. Encourage his colleagues to walk out of every committee meeting and vote on the floor.
What does this accomplish? Read the Senate rules. The Senate presumes a quorum, breaking a quorum isn't as easy as you just made it out to be.
So, we are right back where we started. Because of trailer trash and dumbs, the Senate is in the hands of the Democrats. Without having a majority, there is little power to "do" anything.
Lindsey Graham-Joe Biden is the best person to be President right now.
Jesse overall is doing a great job. BTW
He always talks a somewhat good game, but NEVER really does anything positive. How is his “I’ll get to the bottom of the Russia Collusion hoax” going? I guess he’s too busy trying to hammer out an amnesty bill.
Unfortunately, Graham is right. If we can’t turn our politics around as a country, we’re going to see people going after judges, and it could come from either side.
“I’m waiting for the first US politician to publicly admit that we have state sponsored terrorism going on”
That is exactly what Graham is saying I think, he is making a promise not predicting the future.
