Lindsey Graham could be a Kavanaugh nightmare for Claire McCaskill

Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., isn’t impressed with Sen. Claire McCaskill’s, D-Mo., revisionist history. And no senator has a right to be more angry than the South Carolina Republican.

When former President Barack Obama nominated Justice Sonia Sotomayor and then Justice Elena Kagan to the Supreme Court, Graham did the bipartisan thing. He supported both nominees. When President Trump nominated Justice Brett Kavanaugh, Graham’s Democratic colleagues did the opposite. They ate the nominee alive and tried to ruin his life.

This changed something inside the senator. A switch flipped, rage swelled, and Graham was transformed from a RINO in the eyes of the Republican base to something of an OG. Hence his upcoming Missouri rally Monday morning with Republican senatorial hopeful, state Attorney General Josh Hawley. He is expected to breathe fire about Kavanaugh.

Unlike Graham, McCaskill has twisted her story on Kavanaugh. Maybe that’s why, the Missourian reports, the senator said she hopes confirmation should be out of voters’ minds before Election Day. But that is a tough ask when Hawley keeps hammering the issue and when McCaskill keeps standing by contradictory statements.

It is true that McCaskill didn’t make an issue out of allegations of sexual assault against Kavanaugh. It is not true, like McCaskill said during the last debate however, that she “as [Hawley] knows I made my decision on Kavanaugh before the allegations surfaced.”
