As Twitchy reported, Sen. Lindsey Graham lit up the Democrats on the Senate Judiciary Committee today during Brett Kavanaugh’s testimony, calling the hearing “the most unethical sham since I’ve been in politics.”
Fox News’ Brit Hume called Graham’s statement “blistering” — which it was.
Blistering statement from Lindsey Graham is as strong a denunciation of this process as I’ve ever heard.

We all know Brit Hume is a conservative and doesn’t hide it, but CNN’s Dana Bash saw things a bit differently. In her eyes, Graham, seeing Sen. Dick Durbin score some points with his insistence on an immediate FBI hearing, “jumped in and went nuts.”
Me thinks @LindseyGrahamSC saw @DickDurbin score points on FBI investigation q with #Kavanaugh and he jumped in and went nuts to change the hearing dynamic. And he did. Side note: Graham and Durbin work closely together on immigration and other issues.

Is "went nuts" your personal opinion, Dana, or that of an objective journalist? https://t.co/JN3eIWUuvB

If we were talking about a Democrat, Bash would have called it “passionate.”
Wrong. Graham was fired up way before Durbin’s time. See his recess interview. However I’m not surprised you came to that conclusion being a Democrat in a journalist disguise.

Perhaps, but @LindsayGrahamSC has been consistently and rightly angry over the incredibly injustice of smearing this man without so much as the slightest of corroborating evidence.

I think Graham finally lost his temper at watching a man be systematically destroyed without a shred of evidence. I think Graham had his thoughts prepared long before Durbin spoke. If not, he is an even better speaker than I give him credit for.

Methinks this isn't going the way you hoped or expected it would and now you're attempting to spin it. That's what activists do. #CNNPAC https://t.co/nK4FbH6MvO

No he called it for what it is, anyone can call for an FBI report and you know that, senator Grahm is sick of what's really happening, don't get it twisted. #ConfirmKavanaughNow

Anyone bringing up an FBI investigation at this point just sounds like obstructionist nutjob. He isn't "scoring points."

Graham is fed up, and the FBI has been mentioned by all of them.

That comment is par for the course for a biased CNN “reporter”! Wonder why their ratings have tanked……..
