Lindsey Graham Went Full-On Berserk During Supreme Court Hearing, Accused Judge Jackson Of Aiding Child P*rnographers And Got Brutally Fact-Checked By Chairman Again, Before Storming Out Of Hearing For The Second Time

You have GOT to be kidding me...

Well, what do you know? Lindsey Graham is still being a big, fat baby today.

Just yesterday, we reported that the South Carolina Republican Senator got his knickers in such a twist during the confirmation hearings for President Biden’s Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson that he literally got up and stormed out of the room after attempting to get into a screaming match with the Senate Judiciary Chairman Dick Durbin (who remained calm, cool, and collected, by the way) following Durbin’s brutal fact-check of Graham’s ridiculous claims, right there in front of God and everybody.

Today, Graham essentially did the same damn thing over again, just on a different topic.

Of course, the Right only has so many things they can slam Judge Jackson for — it’s not like she was accused of raping a 14-year-old or anything. So, they pretty much keep cycling through the same two or three bullshit talking points and just get as angry about those few things as they possibly can.

Yesterday, it was Jackson’s advocacy for Guantanamo Bay detainees during her time as a federal public defender while she worked at a private law firm.

Today, it was the unhinged and baseless claim that the Biden Supreme Court nominee has been soft when it comes to sentencing defendants in child pornography cases.

Bloomberg reported:

Republican Senator Lindsey Graham accused Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson of being lenient in sentencing defendants in child pornography cases and for a second day used the Judiciary Committee’s confirmation hearing to air complaints about the treatment of past GOP judicial nominees.

In one of the sharpest exchanges yet during the hearings, Graham on Wednesday raised his voice and repeatedly interrupted Jackson as she responded to his questions about her rationale in meting out prison terms in child-pornography possession cases involving massive numbers of images distributed via the internet.”

Ultimately, Graham once again found himself fact-checked, right to his face, by Chairman Durbin — which ultimately led to him storming out of the room in a fit of rage… Once again:

Let’s get real here. If a Democrat would have behaved like that during Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation hearings, Graham and his cronies would still be smearing them from here to Kingdom come. But it’s supposed to be okay simply because Senator Graham is a Republican? I don’t think so. Grow the hell up, sir.
