Graham: If Republicans bail on Kavanaugh "we deserve our fate"
CNN ^ | Sept. 26, 2018 | Phil Mattingly

Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham just issued a statement on the latest Kavanaugh allegations, calling them "outrageous" and warning his fellow Republicans that if they bail on their Supreme Court nominee "we deserve our fate."

Here's the full statement:

“Judge Kavanaugh has just emphatically denied the recent allegation being levied by Michael Avenatti and his client. He says he does not know the woman in question and emphatically denies the accusations. I would remind everyone that dozens of women who knew Judge Kavanaugh during the time period in question completely vouch for his good character.

Full statement is at the link, I could only post part of it, because it was at CNN.

Graham is right. Republicans better not cave on this, or they are giving up everything to the Democrats.

“..Republicans better not cave on this, or they are giving up everything to the Democrats....”

If they do, I predict a ground swell movement to form a REPLACEMENT party of real conservatives that will fight the radical left Democrats.

I can’t believe Graham lately though this is his lawyer mentality/training coming out here.

I think the republicans are aware. I don’t think Ford will testify and I think Kavanaugh will be confirmed.

Cheekchillers and boybutter or tar and feathers?

It’s always hard to tell what Graham is thinking at any given moment.

If they bail on him now the judicial confirmation process is broken beyond repair. I think that fact in itself will keep the mavericks reluctantly in line.

that’s right.
fail to confirm this well-respected well-qualified (and well-vetted) nominee
because of SorozNazi- style Big Lies (with zero credible evidence against him)

would make the entire world LAUGH at America
Laugh Laugh Laugh Laugh Laugh

Yep - he's doing a good job at slicing & dicing that up. Glad someone is trying to help out and circle the wagons.

Graham, like most scumbag politicians, are sociopaths who can do 180’s on a dime and never lose a stride. No shame, no embarrassment, no contrition...

I don’t think Republicans will cave, but there’s a good chance the RINOs will. All Republicans can’t be blamed for this, but the Americans who put these two-faced fake conservatives in power are at complete fault.

I think this would make Americans ANGRIER than they already are. I hope this doesn’t happen, but if it does, the president can certainly make this a major topic at his rallies. Get rid of squishy politicians who do not support the Trump agenda.

If the dims get control again we will never be the USA again, we see what obamma did with his fellow criminals without worry or legal considerations, the fbi, the cia, the doj, and probably in fact every cabinet and agency there is was affected and the people are willing to do it, this means elections have no consequences, the winning party no longer can act for those who elected them as they are inundated by BS as a political card, Iow, we have lost the country if this lingers and the dims get control..expect persecution, whole list of all republicans at their fingertips, gun owners, etc..I fear for the country, Thank God for Jesus

Graham started to change a few weeks ago when it was certain that his boytoy the Songbird wasn't ever coming back. Without "the Maverick", Linda can return to planet earth.

I dont think this is something that will make Flake vote for the judge. This encourages Flake to vote no.

Graham without McCain is proving to be better than Graham with McCain.

Yep. You unlocked the key to why I think he will be confirmed. As I’ve maintained for about a week now, this is not about Kavanaugh any more. It’s about preserving our process.

His written statement says as much as well.
