'The defining moment of your presidency, for me, was the Kavanaugh hearing,' said Graham.
William CummingsSen. Lindsey Graham praised President Donald Trump on Wednesday, telling him that the confirmation hearings for Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh will be remembered as the"defining moment" of his presidency and that if he wins reelection, it will be because of the federal judges he has put on the bench.
"The defining moment of your presidency, for me, was the Kavanaugh hearing," said Graham, who sat on the Senate Judiciary Committee during Kavanaugh's confirmation and has since become the committee's chairman. "This room would be empty if we had failed Brett Kavanaugh."'This is a lynching, in every sense':During the confirmation process, Graham fiercely defended Kavanaugh after allegations of past sexual misconduct surfaced against the nominee.
Graham said if Trump wins reelection in 2020 one of the main reasons will be because"people in the conservative world believe you fight for judges."Democratic presidential candidates want Kavanaugh impeached after newly surfaced sexual misconduct accusationSen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, who chaired the Judiciary Committee through the Kavanaugh hearings, agreed.
