A New Low For Big Green; Environmental Defense Raising Money For Lindsey Graham

[hatrack]

Fuck. This. Shit.


WASHINGTON -– Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) will attend a fundraiser co-hosted by one of the nation’s top environmental advocates on Thursday, according to an invitation of the event obtained by The Huffington Post.

Fred Krupp, president of the Environmental Defense Fund, is co-hosting the fundraiser for Graham in New York at the home of Julian Robertson, a retired hedge fund manager.

Graham has so far successfully maneuvered through a surprisingly drama-free primary for his Senate reelection. His willingness to raise money from a top environmentalist suggests he’s not exactly fretting political blowback that may come from his conservative base when voters go to the polls on June 10.

Graham’s Senate office did not return a request for comment. In a statement to The Huffington Post, Krupp called the senator a “friend of mine.” "I don’t always agree with him on every issue,” Krupp said, “but the Senator cares deeply about South Carolina and the future of our country."
