https://www.rawstory.com/2018/09/minds-made-lindsey-graham-says-will-vote-kavanaugh-even-fbi-links-sexual-assault/
During an interview on 60 Minutes that is set to air Sunday night, Graham appeared with Republican Sen. John Kennedy of Louisiana.
Graham suggested that he had set the bar much higher for changing his mind.
My minds made up about Brett Kavanaugh and it would take a dynamite accusation, Graham opined. Because, heres the deal, Dr. Ford, I dont know what happened but I know this, Brett denied it vigorously and everybody she named couldnt verify it, its 36 years old.
I dont see anything new changing [my mind], he concluded.

(9,291 posts)and whatever else Trump promised you.
It's not like you have daughters, even sons and never will. Sexual assault is not a crime that has ever concerned you. You were the AG in the military too. Those poor women during your tour.
I'm sorry active duty military when you were looking for justice and all you got was this clown. I wonder if the investigational journalists can get access to his former opinions in the military.

(58,785 posts)of course always has been, and he hopes to get close to Trump to finally turn be able to trade his hysterical warnings about imminent holocaust whenever something he doesn't like happens for military attacks. Very dangerous. Trump makes a lot of war noise but has been very timid so far about actually coming through on his bellicose threats.
Lindsey Graham has been virtually wrong on every foreign policy decision in the last two decades. From Iraq to Libya to North Korea, said a senior GOP congressional aide. We would be at war with half the world if Lindsey had it his way. ...
For all of the humor that Graham deploys in public and in private, and despite the hagiographical haze that has naturally enveloped his late friend John McCain, it remains true that the Three Amigos werent joking around about their determination to reshape the world with U.S. military force. That point of view was bad enough when it was being advanced during the administration of George W. Bush, who acknowledged some limits on U.S. power. For a president like Trump who seems obsessed with perceptions of strength and sometimes addicted to rage, its frightening.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) attended, and offered a brazen suggestion for dealing with Kim. Graham recommended that Trump encourage the Chinese government to assassinate Kim and replace him with a North Korean general whom they control.

(37,162 posts)It's taken as given he's unfazed by Kavanaugh's hissy-fit, since Lindsay regularly engages in his own, including at the hearing.

(245 posts)He will not change and so be it. I agree he is only one, focus on Murkowski and McCaskill, and Manchin. Maybe Flake or even Scott (the junior senator who will leave the Senate after his term.) will make the difference.

Her Republican opponent, Josh Hawley, has enthusiastically embraced Kavanaugh and Trump.

(11,445 posts)When you take a stand like that you're just a phone call, email away from someone ratting you out about some creepy thing you did or are doing. He is under pressure by his money people. I'm think that under the cover of politics DC is a sleazy, dirty town.

(58,785 posts)this kind of stuff is really being addressed to an audience of one.
Observers are reporting a huge change in Graham since McCain's death. He's become a conspicuously loyal Trump minion (a U.S. senator!), which he wasn't before under McCain's influence.

(54,445 posts)I almost get the impression that Graham would especially appreciate being the object of such an assault.
But that's just speculation on my part........
