Lindsey Graham Tells Hannity: NBC Has 'Been a Co-Conspirator in the Destruction of Kavanaugh'

by Joe DePaolo | Oct 1st, 2018, 9:55 pm

Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC), on Monday, ripped NBC for its coverage of the sexual misconduct claims against Brett Kavanaugh.

Appearing on Hannity for the third time in the past six weeknights — a frequency fast approaching Sara Carter and Gregg Jarrett territory — the South Carolina Senator railed against NBC after host Sean Hannity invoked Kavanaugh accuser Julie Swetnick‘s interview Monday night on MSNBC.

“Why does NBC run this?!” Hannity said.

“NBC, here’s the biggest offense to me, they’ve been a co-conspirator in the destruction of Kavanaugh, from my point of view,” Graham replied.

The Senator referenced a Sept. 26 piece run on the network’s website in which NBC News reported the existence of an unnamed fourth Kavanaugh accuser. The accuser sent an anonymous complaint to Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO), and according to NBC, the Senate Judiciary Committee looked into the claim.

Graham accused the network of running the piece solely because Kavanaugh was nominated to the Court by a Republican.

NBC, CNN and whoever else you idiots might deem fake news, merely exposed it.

You better be prepared to take as much as you can dish out. SCOTUS isn't a fucking game here like Fox News would have you believe. Kavanaugh is a dangerous lunatic who probably shouldn't be serving on the people's court.

On YOU!!!

The media didn't do this to anyone. Brett Kavanaught is responsible for his own actions. He is the SOLE purpose that people are coming forward they can attest to his cruelty. NBC didn't create Kavanaught's problems, HE DID. NO ONE ELSE. HE DID IT TO HIMSELF!
