Washington (CNN)Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham said on Thursday that he opposes censuring Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer amid a controversy over comments the New York Democrat made about Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch.

Graham, a close ally of President Donald Trump, explained that his position on the issue is, in part, because Schumer walked back his remarks, but also because it could lead to Democrats attacking Trump.

"I don't want to start censuring everybody," the South Carolina Republican said, later adding, "If we start censuring him, they're going to want to censure Trump, and this stuff never ends."

This is absurd, Lindsey; all talk, no action. You’ve a duty to act, but once again you duck. https://t.co/I8RBTnu827— Mark R. Levin (@marklevinshow) March 6, 2020

What has this got to do with Trump? I have never heard Trump threaten the courts if he does not get his way. He has however criticized the courts for outrageously political biased rulings. Which I fully agree with, and it is his place to do so. linda should shut his mouth and do his job.

The last time the Senate censured a president was in 1834, the first and only time. Andrew Jackson laughed it off.

What the heck is Graham talking about?? President Trump has already been impeached, for goodness sake. Who cares if the Democrats resolve to censure him? Means nothing.

Absolutely false. Graham is a disgusting, lying weasel who tries to undermine Trump at every opportunity. Unfortunately the GOP is filled with Grahams.

Um, Trump was impeached. If the impeachment did not dampen my enthusiasm for Trump, risk censure.

But, what Schumer said must not go without consequence.

Of course, because criticizing is the same as threatening.

Good job doing the Democrats’ work for them, Linda.
