Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and other Senate Republicans blew off claims of hypocrisy amid the resurfacing of his previous contradictory remarks criticizing President Barack Obama’sSupreme Court nomination of Merrick Garland.
Although previous footage captured multiple Senate Republicans criticizing Obama for the same action they are taking now, they have defended and justified their attempt to do so now.
Graham took to Twitter on Sunday with a critical analogy of Democratic lawmakers’ scrutiny of Senate Republicans’ current stance.
“Being lectured by Democrats about how to handle judicial nominations is like an arsonist advising the Fire Department,” Graham tweeted.
As Graham referenced Democratic lawmakers’ handling of now-Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh he insisted that “you reap what you sow.”
“Democrats chose to set in motion rules changes to stack the court at the Circuit level and they chose to try to destroy Brett Kavanaugh’s life to keep the Supreme Court seat open. You reap what you sow,” he said.
