Senator Lindsey Graham fired back at Democrats including Hillary Clinton and Eric Holder who have called for incivility and violence on appearance on Fox News with Martha MacCallum.

Graham would first address Hillary Clinton’s call for incivility stating:
“I would say that if you think what happened to Brett Kavanaugh was civil, we have a definite different view of what civil means. Civil means that you do not destroy a good man because you want power. You don’t hide the evidence and ambush him, you don’t turn to the [Michael] Avenattis of the world and allow accusations completely unfounded. You tell Dr. Ford, ‘Hey we would go to California.”
Graham continued:
“So, you know, Michelle Obama said ‘when they go low, we go high.’ Here’s my view of the Democratic Party regarding Kavanaugh — going low is a step up for you. You are in the gutter in terms of the Democratic Party’s approach to Kavanaugh.”
Graham was then shown a clip of Barack Obama’s Attorney General Eric Holder calling for violence stating, “When they go low, we kick them.”
Lindsey Graham wasn’t having any of that:
“I voted for [Justice Sonia] Sotomayor and [Justice Elena] Kagan, I can’t imagine I would do to them what they tried to do to Kavanaugh. Keep it up, keep it up Mr. Holder, keep doing what you’re doing and see how the American people like this.”
Graham would conclude with a choice for voters in November.
“This is the number one issue I think for America in November. Do you agree with what they did to Brett Kavanaugh? Do you believe that what they did was okay? If you believe it was okay vote Democrat. If you thought it was despicable, vote for us.”
Graham is right on point. What the Democrats did to Brett Kavanaugh was low. It was gutter low. They paraded around unfounded accusations in order to muddy a man who has an impeccable record. They brought out a woman at the end of the nominating process to accuse him of something despicable, absolutely despicable in order to not only sully Kavanaugh’s name, but to try and destroy him and his family. That’s what their goal was. They wanted to destroy him. And that’s what they want to do to this country if they ever get power again. They want to destroy it. We can’t let that happen.
What do you make of Lindsey Graham’s comments? Do you think the Democrats are in the gutter after their behavior during the Brett Kavanaugh hearings and appointment process for the Supreme Court?
