WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) today released this statement.

“When it comes to stopping President Donald Trump and his agenda, there seem to be no boundaries.

“Whether it’s coaching witnesses or reporting thinly-sourced stories without proper verification, everything is fair game and falls into the category of – ‘The Ends Justify the Means.’

“What we are witnessing is the total collapse of the traditional confirmation process for a Supreme Court nominee.  It is being replaced by a game of delay, deception, and wholesale character assassination. 

“Clearly when it comes to President Trump, elections – in the eyes of Democrats – have no consequences.

“In my view, the process needs to move forward with a hearing Thursday, and vote in committee soon thereafter.”
