Seriously, Lindsey? Really?

Lindsey Graham, the Republican Senator from South Carolina, let fly last Friday with seething contempt directed at anyone who couldn't offer knee-jerk support for Donald Trump's nominee for the Supreme Court, Brett Kavanaugh, calling the hearings the worst sham he's seen in his long political career.

Gosh Lindsey. Very impressive.

But what I'd like to know is where that righteous indignation was when Republicans refused to even consider a sitting president's Supreme Court nominee for the vacancy left by the passing of Antonin Scalia back in 2016.

Because I didn't hear any outrage. I didn't hear any contempt. And I sure didn't see any finger pointing.

What I saw was a deliberate attempt to—in your words—hold that seat open until the next election, when an appropriate (read conservative) nominee could be forwarded by an appropriate (read Republican) president at an appropriate (following the 2016 election) time.

That obstruction and delay (to use your boss's words) had a purpose, didn't it?

Lindsey? You could possess the imagination of an accountant and still picture Brett Kavanaugh and Donnie snickering over their “grab 'em by the pussy” days. Kavanaugh is cut from the same cloth as President Petulant, which I'm guessing had something to do with his nomination.

Kavanaugh is an alcoholic sex offender, qualities which make him ideal for Trump's staff.

But as a Supreme Court Justice? Not so much.

You understand that this outrage, this “sham” (as you call the investigation of a Supreme Court nominee), is a direct result of Republican refusal to allow any debate over Merrick Garland, right?

You understand that this hellish and humiliating chapter in our politics could have been avoided had even a syllable of discussion been devoted to Merrick Garland's nomination?

And that the blame for this divisive and unnecessary ugliness falls squarely on the shoulders of the very people who are crying foul the loudest?

You get that, right Lindsey?

I'll always wonder what would have happened had Republicans simply done their job instead of politicizing the nomination process. Which is, after all, what you are accusing Democrats of, correct?

You and your cohorts are the whore who cried “Rape!” after the check bounced.

I mean, I'm really sorry that Kavanaugh was such a shit as a young man, and even moreso that someone remembered it and called him on it. 

But this is on you. So very, very much on you.

But hey, thanks for the great YouTube video. Unlike you, it's a hoot.
