Sen. Lindsey Graham (S.C.) urged his fellow Republican senators Wednesday not to join what he called the “lynch mob” calling for former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) to withdraw his nomination to serve as attorney general because of allegations of sexual misconduct and illicit drug use.
“I fear the process surrounding the Gaetz nomination is turning into an angry mob, and unverified allegations are being treated as if they are true. I have seen this movie before,” Graham, the ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said in a statement released after he met with Gaetz and Vice President-elect JD Vance.
“I would urge all of my Senate colleagues, particularly Republicans, not to join the lynch mob and give the process a chance to move forward,” Graham continued.
Graham appeared to be alluding to sexual assault allegations that were made against conservative Judge Brett Kavanaugh when Trump nominated him to serve on the Supreme Court in 2018.

Linda! Linda! Linda! Linda! Linda!
If the RINOs want to knock off a GOP AG again, go look up Jeff Sessions and sling mud at him again.
Given the excessive deference the GOP-E Senators showed to every wack job Obama or Biden pick, they have zero standing to posture now
Any GOP Senator who fights Trump needs to hear from the GOP Leadership that they will not be supported for re-election and team Trump needs to recruit and fund a strong primary challenger.
This nonsense for 2 decades where we put up with the Romney/McCain type Senators posturing for the DC media needs to be another one of Trump’s fixes
Not falling for this trick again.
She’ll change her tune again when she sticks her well-manicured wet finger in the air
Gaetz is a dirt bag and Trump should never have nominated him. If Trump wants to avoid a nasty confirmation process, he should get Gaetz to withdraw his nomination.
Graham needs to be lynched.
You opine without presenting evidence?
Molly Hemingway has written a very clear article detailing the fraudulent charges against Gaetz.
Bull.
Still kind of a lame defense.
“This is more of the classic DNC witchhunt...” would be a good start.
FO
Just walk around with the recording of Sunny Hostin’s legal disclaimer. Play it anytime someone brings it up.
Please post your proof.
If Gaetz was guilty of spitting on the sidewalk the FBLie would have already swatted his house and perp walked him. The fact that they investigated for two years and failed to find anything tells you all you need to know.
It was a set up.
Republicans ran so far behind Trump. Poll so much worse than Trump.
If they want to remain and gain power, they better all show up the first day of work wearing red MAGA hats.
Did they not witness the power people give to the ones who joined Trump publicly?
Which nominee do you want them to go after next?
Your idiotic opinion would be better served at DU.
It’s not a coincidence that the little RAT biatches went after Jeff Sessions FIRST back in 2016. The RATS take the law out first. That way they can make their own laws.
