Here's the reason Lindsey Graham voted out of alphabetical order today.

(Copied from Raw Story)

Less than one year after Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) voted to confirm Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the DC appeals court, he voted against her confirmation to the United States Supreme Court.

But it was how Graham voted against Jackson that is drawing attention.

The GOP senator did not even bother going to the Senate floor to vote against her nomination, CNN's John Harward reported, based on work by his colleagues Ali Zaslav and Ted Barrett.

"Lindsey Graham didn't wear a tie for the occasion of Ketanji Brown Jackson's confirmation to become the 1st black woman on the Supreme Court," Hardwood reported. "That meant he wasn't allowed on the Senate floor and voted 'no' from the cloakroom."

Geez. Such a great way to be disrespectful, Lindsey.

SMDH

1. Forever, this is what he will be known for.

[leftieNanner]

5. Certainly One of Many Disrespectful Acts

I'm remembering his Brett Kavanaugh tantrum too.

I do hope that we will some day learn what Trump is holding over his head.

[Harker]

11. Yes. There's a laundry list...

and some dirty laundry that will never come clean.

[Jerry2144]

27. Can we just skip

to kicking (him) when he's up, kicking him when he's down, kicking him when he's stiff, and kicking him all around?

That part sounds like fun

[niyad]

32. I knew that I needed to keep my stiletto heels for a reason (other than aerating

the lawn!).

[Jerry2144]

41. And I kept

My sized twelve, steel toed safety boots for the same reason

[Bev54]

2. They shouldn't have let him vote period. If he can't respect the decorum of the senate

then he forfeits his vote.

[Deuxcents]

10. I agree.

Aren’t there rules or at least some policies regarding respect?

[GoCubsGo]

3. So, in other words, he iwas just being his usual petty, disrespectful, racist asshole self?

No doubt all the shitheads who keep re-electing him are eating this up.

[orwell]

4. Maybe he hung his tie...

...over the limb of a tree.

Just sayin'...

[demtenjeep]

28. he can wear it the wrong way around his neck and squeeze for all I care

bless his little heart

[young_at_heart]

6. He's really showing his "true" colors!

He just keeps sniking lower and lower....where is the bottom?

[SmallFry]

7. Lindsey in the cloakroom...

Is on my “How Republicans Careers Will End” bingo card. I won’t finish what the rest of the square says as I do believe it is a display of bigotry.

[iemanja]

14. Then why reference it at all?

And you are right. It is a display of bigotry.

[Baitball Blogger]

8. So, Lindsey voted from the metaphorical back seat of the house?

He came out of the coat closet to do his duty.

[Blue Owl]

9. What a POS

[liberalla]

12. +1000. . . nothing to add

[jaxexpat]

13. Lindsey learned long ago something all senators know.

And that is, when you're a US senator, you can get away with being a shit if enough of your voters think it's cool.

[bottomofthehill]

15. There is always an extra tie in the cloak room.

he is just garbage

[AZLD4Candidate]

16. In China, they have a word for people like this human suckerfish.

大人 - Big man (usually a little person with a HUGE ego)
王八蛋 - Bastard
傻逼 - MFer
小狗 - Little Dog
蝗虫 - Locust

Or my favorite insult:

你是什么东西 - What thing are you?

It fits Lindsay perfectly.

[IronLionZion]

17. Not many conservatives like him either

he's just a resentful spiteful piece of shit riding out a Senate seat that he probably couldn't win if he weren't an incumbent

[leftieNanner]

24. Incumbent or

Just an asshole with an "R" beside his name. Looking at the crop of Republicans in Congress, it seems that is the only requirement for office.

[Rebl2]

18. How about

the fact they had to hunt down rand paul delaying the vote for 20 or so minutes. He knew when he was supposed to be there. What a jerk.

[irisblue]

19. Here I was just thinking he is just a son of a bitch

[DownriverDem]

20. Those 47 repubs

should be ashamed.

[Evolve Dammit]

21. After saying she was totally qualified. Payback for beer guzzling date raping frat boy questions.

What a useless POS. You disgust me. I had friends that used to call you a patriot when you and McCain were close. Look in the fucking mirror now. You sold your soul to the Orange Anus and probably Putin.

[leftieNanner]

26. Rather stunning, isn't it?

I remember that tearful video of him riding in a car talking about his good friend Joe Biden.

[Evolve Dammit]

43. Lindsey has some serious mental health issues. As does most of GOP. Cult 45 is off the charts...

[caraher]

22. Side note

So there's a Senate dress code?

Makes me wonder about how some outfits passed muster...

[Delphinus]

23. I heard

Rand Paul voted from the cloak room too.

[Evolve Dammit]

44. Aqua Buddha time?? Couple of tokes in the Cloak.. What a worthless person. Neighbor was right.

[CaptainTruth]

25. Anytime I hear "Republican" & "cloakroom" in the same sentence...

...I have to hope that underage girls were not involved.

[LakeArenal]

34. Or boys....

[Wicked Blue]

29. For such a miniscule piece of shit

he certainly manages to spread a lot of stink

[Ford_Prefect]

30. Lindsey G. has always been a class act. 3rd rate class clown that is.

[Talitha]

31. The necktie must have clashed with his pearls.

BTW is 'cloakroom' Senate-speak for 'closet'?
Asking for a friend....

[LakeArenal]

36. Funny.

[Sucha NastyWoman]

33. I think his moral compass got buried

With his old friend John McCain.

[calimary]

35. Well, he voted from his comfort zone!

In the closet!

[PatrickforB]

37. LOL, well, we have always been able to count on Lindsey Graham to be

a gutless worm, a windsock who carefully gauges the way the polictical wind is blowing and then slithers along with the right-wing crazy pack.

I'd say he should hang his head in shame, but he has none.

I'd say he is an 'elder statesman' of the Senate, but people would split their sides laughing.

I'd say he stands on principle, but he has none. Honestly, I don't think Lindsey Graham stands for anything but what the powers that be tell him to stand for.

Disgusting man.

[AverageOldGuy]

38. Whine, whine, whine.

[erronis]

39. What was Lindsey doing in the cloakroom? Boozing it up again; having a coke-fueled orgy?

Sucking (up to) a next possible (r)epuglicon president?

[kimbutgar]

40. I wish some inconvenient pictures would appear of Lindsey appear to force him to resign

I can fantasize can’t I?

[pansypoo53219]

42. senator pissy pants.
