First, so you know the main message of this email: To hell with Lindsey Graham. We need to replace him in the Senate with Jaime Harrison, who the latest Quinnipiac poll shows tied with Graham in a 48-48 dead heat. Please donate $4.80 or $48 to defeat Graham NOW.
If Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell try to dishonor RBG by pushing a right-wing Justice, it will need to flow through Graham -- head of the Judiciary Committee.
In 2016, Graham said: "I want you to use my words against me. If there's a Republican president in 2016 and a vacancy occurs in the last year of the first term, you can say Lindsey Graham said, 'Let's let the next president, whoever it might be, make that nomination.' And you could use my words against me and you'd be absolutely right."
In 2018, Graham said: "If an opening comes in the last year of President Trump's term, and the primary process has started, we'll wait to the next election."
Today, Graham showed he's an unprincipled coward, saying: "The two biggest changes regarding the Senate and judicial confirmations that have occurred in the last decade have come from Democrats. Harry Reid changed the rules to allow a simple majority vote for Circuit Court nominees dealing out the minority. Chuck Schumer and his friends in the liberal media conspired to destroy the life of Brett Kavanaugh and hold that Supreme Court seat open. In light of these two events, I will support President @realDonaldTrump in any effort to move forward regarding the recent vacancy created by the passing of Justice Ginsburg."
Republican strategist Matt Down replied, "Ummm, after these two events happened you said you wouldn’t vote to confirm a justice in an election year." Even Karen Tumulty, longtime journalist at Time and Washington Post, said, "This is 100% pure horse manure. 'These two events' both happened before."
Thanks for being a bold progressive -- and honoring RBG.
