Sen. Lindsey Graham (S.C.) urged his fellow Republican senators Wednesday not to join what he called the “lynch mob” calling for former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) to withdraw his nomination to serve as attorney general because of allegations of sexual misconduct and illicit drug use.

“I fear the process surrounding the Gaetz nomination is turning into an angry mob, and unverified allegations are being treated as if they are true. I have seen this movie before,” Graham, the ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee, said in a statement released after he met with Gaetz and Vice President-elect JD Vance.

“I would urge all of my Senate colleagues, particularly Republicans, not to join the lynch mob and give the process a chance to move forward,” Graham continued.

Graham appeared to be alluding to sexual assault allegations that were made against conservative Judge Brett Kavanaugh when Trump nominated him to serve on the Supreme Court in 2018.

If the RINOs want to knock off a GOP AG again, go look up Jeff Sessions and sling mud at him again.

Given the excessive deference the GOP-E Senators showed to every wack job Obama or Biden pick, they have zero standing to posture now

Any GOP Senator who fights Trump needs to hear from the GOP Leadership that they will not be supported for re-election and team Trump needs to recruit and fund a strong primary challenger.

This nonsense for 2 decades where we put up with the Romney/McCain type Senators posturing for the DC media needs to be another one of Trump’s fixes

Gaetz is a dirt bag and Trump should never have nominated him. If Trump wants to avoid a nasty confirmation process, he should get Gaetz to withdraw his nomination.

Graham needs to be lynched.
