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.

  1. We all know Lindsay Graham has no principles. He went from Never Trump to Ever Trump in the space of a bootlick. His outrage was cheap and fake. More disgusted with him than ever.

  2. Well I think it was real, just can’t figure out why? How is who is in the SC going to ever really affect his life, directly or too much of any extent?

  3. What a dismissive jerk. The proper way to address her is as “Dr. Blasey Ford” not “Ms. Ford”. What exactly is this “problem” he insinuates she has?

    I swear my blood pressure must be about double where it should be right now.

  4. Kavanaugh’s reputation is not going to improve over time. It will be interesting to see when Lindsay bails on that image.
