Graham left chamber before Nadler played the clip - only one absent at that moment

Garrett Haake ✔ @GarrettHaake

When @RepJerryNadler played a clip of @LindseyGrahamSC from the Clinton impeachment, Graham wasn’t in the chamber- the only senator not in his or her seat at that moment.

He knew it was coming, and the coward ducked out.

If Roberts won't stop them, no one will. It's not just R's that are doing this. Diane Feinstein left early yesterday too. Like Chris Hayes said, this is their job, they MUST stay!

You're a gutless fraud as well. Unlike Paul Newman, though, Graham isn't playing a game, and he will never be shamed into integrity:
