In a full embrace of Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) followed up his high-volume hearing performance Thursday by throwing his weight vocally and visually behind the nominee.

He first went on Fox News to give Kavanaugh a full-throated defense.

“I am now more convinced than ever that he didn’t do it. He is the right guy to be on the court,” Graham told Fox News’ Sean Hannity Thursday night. “Ms. Ford has a problem and destroying Judge Kavanaugh’s life won’t fix her problem.”

“I would just stress again, this man has led an incredible life and everything they are saying about him is made up and it comes out of the left field,” he continued. “It’s not corroborated. Please don’t take away everything he has done.”

To top it all off, he also changed his Twitter picture to an all-smiles shot of him and Kavanaugh.
