Lindsey Graham Announces Donation of $500,000 Towards Trump Campaign’s Election Legal Battle
Senator Lindsey Graham announced he would be donating $500,000 to the Trump campaign’s legal battle to contest vote counts in several swing states.
The president’s campaign has refused to concede the election as they pursue litigation in states in which they are disputing the validity of a number of ballots.
Graham boldly declared late Thursday that he is “here tonight to stand with President Trump” because it was the President who helped him retain his Senate seat.
“He stood with me; he’s the reason we’re gonna have a Senate majority. My race was overwhelming. He helped Senate Republicans,” a thankful Graham stated.
“We’re gonna pick up House seats because of the campaign that President Trump won.”

Lindsey Graham Donation For President Trump’s Campaign
Graham’s stand with the President was a welcome move after others have seemingly abandoned Trump or have simply turned an ignorant blind eye to the possibility of fraud playing a part in the election.
Former New Jersey governor Chris Christie, who has an extensive history of turning tail when a difficult challenge presents itself, blasted Trump over his recent rhetoric regarding a stolen election.
“We heard nothing today about any evidence,” Christie said.
“This kind of thing, all it does is inflame without informing. And we cannot permit inflammation without information.”
A good reminder that nobody should ever take this walking tub of butter seriously. @ChrisChristie https://t.co/gGYpjaqwcu

The Political Insider’s Chris Barron directly confronted jelly-spined Republicans like Christie in a recent column.
“Either you stand with the overwhelming majority of your party in demanding that every single legally cast ballot is counted,” Barron challenged, “or you stand against them.”
The FEW Republicans Standing Up For Trump
With the exception of Graham, there have been very few Republicans speaking up in defense of the President.
Ronny Jackson, a former White House doctor who won his race to represent Texas’s 13th Congressional District, urged Republicans to stand up and fight for the man who helped them win across the board in Tuesday’s election.
“RINOs in the Republican Party need to STAND UP for President Trump and fight back against the Democrats and their election fraud,” he tweeted. “This election is too important!”

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) compared the lack of faith in this year’s election to a ‘third impeachment’ attempt by Democrats.
First, it was the Russia hoax. Then, it was Ukraine. Now? It’s election integrity.@RepScottPerry‘s right, the Democrats are attempting #impeachment number 3. pic.twitter.com/fJ30bBH2qn

Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) defended the President’s efforts to protect election integrity and slammed Fox News for their terrible election night call of Arizona.
Fox News & AP both made a HUGE mistake calling Arizona for Biden. Before the votes were counted.
Trump still has a real path to win AZ. So does McSally.
Even CNN admits it. https://t.co/Hwm7vliLSR

Rep. Paul Gosar has been on the front lines in Arizona as the contentious counting battle continues to wage.

Turning a blind eye to what is happening and has happened to President Trump for four years is a recipe for disaster for the Republican Party in the future.
At least there is still a handful of Republicans out there with the spine to fight back.

Graham: ‘We’ve Got The Votes To Confirm Justice Ginsburg’s Replacement Before The Election’
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham said Monday night that Senate Republicans have “the votes to confirm Justice Ginsburg’s replacement before the election.”
The Republican also said that the Senate Judiciary Committee will report the nomination so there can be a vote on Trump’s nominee on the Senate floor before the election.
He also noted that Republicans will confirm Ginsburg’s replacement before November 3rd.
BREAKING:
According to Lindsey Graham, Chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee “We’ve got the votes to confirm Justice Ginsburg’s replacement before the election. That’s what’s coming.”
FILL. THE. SEAT.

Graham: ‘We’ve Got The Votes’
Graham made his comments on Monday’s “Hannity” on Fox News, where he also promised all the Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee would vote for the nominee to replace Ginsburg on the Supreme Court.
“We’ve got the votes to confirm Justice Ginsburg’s replacement before the election,” Graham told Sean Hannity.
“We’re going to move forward in the committee. We’re going to report the nomination out of the committee to the floor of the United States Senate so we can vote before the election.”
“That’s the constitutional process,” Graham noted.
Graham Vows He And Republicans Won’t Be Intimidated By The Left
The senator continued, “After Kavanaugh, everything changed with me. They’re not going to intimidate me, Mitch McConnell, or anybody else.”
“The nominee is going to be supported by every Republican in the Judiciary Committee, and we’ve got the votes to confirm the judge — the justice on the floor of the Senate before the election,” Graham insisted.
“And that’s what’s coming,” he vowed.
The night before Graham made his comments to Hannity, protesters gathered outside the senator’s Washington, DC residence to demand he not confirm a replacement for Ginsburg.
Some of the activists tried to enter Senator Graham's front yard and knock on the door
Police formed a line preventing most from doing so, and forced one protester who got through off the yard.

Expect The Left’s Shrill Reaction To Get Worse
Given the tone and even violent aggressiveness of today’s left, this was not surprising.
And as President Trump and Republicans continue to go through the process of what the Constitution demands when a Supreme Court seat becomes vacant, expect the left’s reaction to become increasingly worse.
We are already seeing it from Democrat leaders.
They have threatened to pack the courts.
They have threatened to impeach the president for merely doing his Constitutionally-prescribed job.
Left-wing liberals like CNN commentator Resa Azlan have threatened to burn down the country.
If they even TRY to replace RBG we burn the entire fucking thing down.
