Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) was booed onstage at The Atlantic Festival in Washington, D.C., Wednesday, after saying Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh was treated like crap.
While in conversation with The Atlantic editor in chief Jeffrey Goldberg, Graham said he didnt particularly like President Donald Trumps mockery of Dr. Christine Blasey Fords Senate testimony at his rally in Southaven, Mississippi, Tuesday night. Last week, Ford recounted to the Senate Judiciary Committee her allegation that Kavanaugh had forced himself on her and groped her during high school.
I would tell him, Knock it off, youre not helping, Graham said, before making a bizarre reference to Juanita Broaddrick and Kathleen Willey, the women who accused former President Bill Clinton of sexual abuse.
When Goldberg asked what the point of Grahams remarks were, Graham said, Heres the point, I have seen what happened to these women in 1998 when they came forward. I dont like what the president said last night. Im the first person to say, I want to hear it from Dr. Ford. I thought she was handled respectfully.
Graham went on to say that he thought Kavanaugh was treated like crap, a remark the crowd responded to with resounding boos.
Yeah, well boo yourself, Graham said to the crowd.

If Graham hadn't been integral to the Impeachment debacle, he might have half a point.
The Arkansas Project was a real thing, Richard Mellon Scaife was real, the animus against Clinton was real.
Brett Kavanaugh was integral to that CONSPIRACY.

When Sessions is fired, he'll be AG and will fire Mueller, Rosenstein, and clean house of all the "liberals" working at the DOJ. I've never despised so many pp. in my entire life!
