Melania Trump Was ‘Proud’ of Lindsey Graham’s Attack on Christine Blasey Ford Allegations...
Newsweek ^ | September 28, 2018 | Jason Le Miere

Senator Lindsey Graham said that in a conversation with Donald Trump Thursday night, the president told him that first lady Melania Trump was “proud” of his fiery attack on the sexual allegations brought against Brett Kavanaugh by Christine Blasey Ford.

After a hearing in which Republicans had allowed female prosecutor Rachel Mitchell to question both Ford and Kavanaugh, Graham took the microphone and angrily denounced Democrats and the whole process that threatened to derail Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the Supreme Court.

“This is not a job interview. This is hell,” a furious Graham said. “What you want to do is destroy this guy's life, hold this seat open and hope you win in 2020.”

Speaking on Fox & Friends Friday morning, Graham said he had received effusive praise for his performance during a phone call with the president. He added that the message was passed to him that the first lady was also very happy.

“He was very complimentary, and he said Melania said that please tell me that she was very proud of the fact that I pushed back and stood up for this good man,” Graham said. "And that meant a lot to me that the first lady felt that way.”(continued)

Glad she enjoyed it while it lasted. Graham back to praising Flake and wanting the process to be fair to Dems.

Yesterday was bullshit

his fiery attack on the sexual allegations

Fake News

anybody with half a brain cell that watched Graham knows he was attacking the Dems for lying, obstruction and political gameplaying, not to mention their unnatural proclivity for smut - leaking a confidential letter so they could use Ford as their pawn - with complete disregard for Ford’s self-admitted, and obvious, mental illness.

the same Dems that then attacked Graham and others by doxing them from a computer located inside the H of R

Blatant liars like Ford threaten honourable women everywhere.

Everyone of us heard the Boy Who Cried Wolf as kids.

Actually since McCain left Washington, Graham has been a solid Trump supporter. Lindsey turned that hearing on its ear with his five minutes.

It is foolish to attack people who have become public supporters of President Trump. Since McCain left Washington, Graham has been a public supporter of Trump. He should be encouraged to remain a supporter. He has talents the Trump administration can use. Yesterdays hearings and subsequent new interviews are a clear case in point.

Since McCain left Washington, Graham has been a clear public supporter of President Trump and his agenda. In that time, what has he done that would indicate that he is the second coming of McCain?

Look at the way they frame it.
It wasn’t an attack on Ford or her allegations
It was an attack on the Democrats and their sleazy tactics.
