Sen. Lindsey Graham said he has no plans to personally read the FBI report on Supreme Court justice nominee Brett Kavanaugh, but he’s confident the supplemental background check found no evidence to corroborate allegations of sexual misconduct.

“I asked questions” at the briefing for GOP Senators on Thursday morning, the South Carolina Republican told reporters. “I knew exactly what I was looking for .... the summaries suggest nothing new.

“I am good to go,” said Graham. “Enough already. Let’s vote.”

After more than a week of insisting Kavanaugh was qualified and opponents were smearing the nominee, Graham doesn’t have much of a choice.

Lindsey's alter ego (although I doubt he'd stoop to using curtains for a dress or picking cotton).

3. This is called "willfull ignorance".

Essentially, I choose to learn anything that might make a difference.

[Fred Sanders]

9. It may be he has read it and the contents terrify him? Makes no sense to not join in the

chorus of "no corroboration" after saying I have not bothered to read if there is any!?

Not to mention huge dispspect to Judiciary Commitee and Herr Trump who ordered the report??

Makes no sense.

5. Shows you

What he's about!! NO SOUL!!!!!!!!!!! Their day will soon come!!!!!!!!!!!!! (but NOT SOON ENOUGH)

[FiveGoodMen]

23. "Their day will soon come"

Said by so many during my 58 years.

Is this like Jesus returning "soon"?

7. They stole everything

The election, our freedoms, our heritage, our futures, our taxes and social benefits, 2 Supreme Court seats. A heist for the ages. Let that sink in. And they did it all under cover of confusion, disarray, insults, tweets, and lies. It was planned all along, I mean like 20 or 30 years. They are the victors because they are good at this game.

[Wuddles440]

13. This!!!

[turbinetree]

14. Yepper, spot on.................

And they let a foreign power join in the fun.........without firing one shot ...........the Russian Mafia, FSB and the GRU.................just so they can stay in power..................we are now officially a banana republic.......and all three branches of government have been taken over................................unless we get out and vote this Midterm

[bucolic_frolic]

22. Midterm

Schmidterm. You think they don't have a plan for that? Why is Donnie so quiet on the FakeNews front for a month, and why no crybabying about rigged, crooked, stolen elections? When they're mum they're certain of their outcome ... unless voters deliver the TKO and say, hey wait a minute. And that's what I expect. Narrow capture of the House, Senate plus or minus 1 or 2. No real confirm of their actions, but not enough ... of course, we might do better

[Bengus81]

26. And hell....they've barely started

Overturn Roe vs Wade
Make those pesky Unions a thing of the past
Minimum wage made illegal
Equal pay?? Not in this MANS World
Social Security and Medicare...not eliminated but GUTTED to the point of being worthless
Continue to GUT the ACA until it disappears,which won't be long

and on and on and on and on............

8. Graham's pathetic

I talked to people who said he was one of the more reasonable republicans. That's like saying 'this rat's more sanitary than the others in the sewer'. He's gone along with Trump's insanity as much as anyone else and really showed his true clown colors during this hearing.

[Fred Sanders]

10. Makes zero sense to say or even pretend to say did not read the report and am not going to bother

to in the coming days unless ther IS something in the 9 interview DETAILS...which take time to read...I imagine an FBI report is as detailed as they could be.

Graham has painted himself into a dark corner and does not want to see any light. Then this makes sense!

"Graham has been unapologetic in his support for Kavanaugh over the past week, so much so that even if he had seen something troubling come out of the FBI investigation, reversing course on the federal judge would be politically difficult."

12. We should all send messages to

Graham and McConnell, asking them if Kavenaugh was the most vile candidate they could find to place onto the SC? So they looked around, and nobody else in their party was as bad as he is? Talk about flawed. He can get drunk and make calls threatening people along with Thomas's wife, the souse Ginni.

[Fred Sanders]

16. Show of hands, Senators in the Dungeon, who will read the report before passing judgment?

Is there a lineup to the door of the single copy or is there a schedule?

This is so fucked up.

[Andy823]

11. I bet Graham is not the only one

All of the republicans, except 3, had made up their minds from day one to vote yes. We will see what those 3 do now.

[Reader Rabbit]

15. We need to start calling these guys what they are:

Pro-rape Republicans

[at140]

17. Is this the same Graham being praised here

when McCain died? I said at the time never trust Graham. He is a chicken-hawk.

[demmiblue]

18. What in the world are you talking about?

[at140]

20. I caught flak for denigrating Graham

when McCain died.

[demmiblue]

21. I didn't see anyone praising Graham. Quite the opposite, in fact.

[agalisgv]

28. He just couldn't pretend any longer, could he? nt

[recentevents]

19. John McCain

Must have had some really huge dirt on him, once he passed away LG turned into a colossal RW douche bag. He was always a problem, but now he's Trumpian.

[Nitram]

25. No, Lindsey is just a born follower. with his Daddy gone, now he's got Trumpy.

[Nitram]

24. He's not even pretending to be making an objective impartial decision.

He's just giving us all the finger.

[agalisgv]

27. This is the trend

It is the same with Trump supporters. They openly admit they don't watch the news. After all, it is "all fake" right?
