Two Democratic lawmakers — who are part of the so-called “squad” — are calling on Sen. Lindsey Graham’s (R-S.C.) resignation.
“It’s time for Lindsey Graham to submit his resignation,” Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) tweeted.
Omar’s demand came after a report of Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (R) alleging that during his call with Graham on Friday, “It sure looked like he was wanting to go down that road,” regarding finding a way to toss ballots that were cast legally, according to The Washington Post.
He also allegedly asked Raffensperger whether he “had the power to toss all mail ballots in counties found to have higher rates of nonmatching signatures,” as the Post reports.
Soon after Omar’s demand, Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) responded on Twitter Wednesday to Rep. Pramila Jayapal’s (D-Wash.) call for Graham to resign, “Lindsey Graham attempted to commit voter fraud. He can’t get away with it. Actions result in consequences.”
“This unethical and possibly illegal action from a sitting U.S. Senator demands a swift consequence,” Tlaib added.
