Graham: ‘Going Low Is A Step Up’ For Dems, They’re ‘In The Gutter’

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) appears on Fox News with Martha MacCallum on Oct. 10, 2018.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) on Wednesday responded to Hillary Clinton’s claims that civility will return to Congress if Democrats win in November by invoking former First Lady Michelle Obama.

“So, Michelle Obama said, ‘when they go low, we go high.’ Here’s my view of the Democratic Party regarding Kavanaugh,” he told Fox News’ Martha MacCallum. “Going low is a step up for you. You are in the gutter in terms of the Democratic Party’s approach.”

Graham isn’t the first to reference the former first lady’s catch phrase this week. Former Obama administration Attorney General Eric Holder created his own rendition of the tagline during a speech over the weekend.

“When they go low, we kick ’em,” Holder said.

    WTF, Lindsey?!

  2. If the dems are in the gutter, then the repugs are the sewer.

  3. “Going low is a step up for Dems, They’re in the gutter,” he yelled from the bottom of the cesspool.

  4. Graham would be the expert in gutters after all he’s been there for two years and is deeper than ever before. He wants to be UN Ambassador so badly there is no butt he won’t kiss. I hope he gets it, he will be out of the Senate, and it won’t take that long to piss off this mercurial president then he will be gone for good.

  5. Trump’s got them all lying as much as he does. It’s bizarre.
