During an appearance on Sean Hannity’s Fox News show Tuesday night, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) called on his Democratic colleague Amy Klobuchar to apologize to Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. As Graham explained, Kavanaugh apologized during last Thursday’s hearing for “snapping” at Klobuchar, whose father has struggled with alcoholism, after she asked him if he had ever blacked out from drinking. “I don’t know, have you?” the nominee asked her. “Here’s what I think,” Graham told Hannity. “Amy Klobuchar should apologize to Kavanaugh and his family for being part of a smear campaign that I haven’t seen for over 20 years of politics.” Later in the interview, Graham predicted that Sens. Susan Collins (R-ME) and Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) would feel comfortable voting for Kavanaugh after the FBI completes its investigation into the sexual assault allegations against him this week. Graham “hopes” Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) will do the same despite Flake saying Tuesday that he believes America “can’t have” Kavanaugh’s “partisan” temperament on the Supreme Court.
