Dem Sen. Chris Coons Blasts Sen. Lindsey Graham’s Call for Biden Inquiry: ‘Really Disappointing’

‘I think he will come to regret this decision’

EXCERPT:

COONS: "Well, Ayman, that interview showed you the heart of Lindsey Graham, someone who knows Joe Biden well, who knows his character and who knows his kindness. And that he would turn on him so sharply I think suggests how corrosive Senator Graham’s close friendship with President Trump has been to his core values. Senator Graham, the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, has been a relentless, even ferocious advocate for President Trump and his nominees. He still has been able to maintain some distance from President Trump’s decisions when he’s made bad decisions, for example, by abandoning our allies, the Kurds in Syria. Senator Graham stood up to him very publicly and forcefully. But this latest decision, this choice to betray a decade’s old friendship and a clear-eyed view of the truth, I think is a really disappointing demonstration of just how much Senator Graham’s close relationship with President Trump has affected the core of who he is and his judgment."
