Graham warned to follow decorum rule after he attacks Democratic colleague

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) received a warning early Sunday morning to follow the Senate’s decorum rules after he accused Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-N.H.) of being “deceitful” and “dishonest” and vowed “we’re going to call you out.”

“This gives phony and cynical a bad name,” Graham exclaimed when Hassan introduced her amendment.

Graham’s outburst at Hassan prompted Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) to remind the South Carolina senator sternly not to impugn the motives of a fellow senator.

Murphy reminded Graham and all senators not to “impute to another senator or other senators any conduct or motive unworthy or unbecoming of a senator.”

Blaming him for not stopping this victory for President Biden and the Democratic Party.

Couldn’t happen to a better a hole.

those few Democrats who tried to get along with Graham and any perks he was planning on in the future. Your 15 minutes are over, Lindsey.

Don't go into the vapors, now. You're too old to handle the stress and humiliation.
