Lindsay Graham said he wasn't that concerned about the Comey firing, and that it's different from Nixon firing Cox in that back then, the Democratic Leader wasn't calling for Cox to be fired, like now. The Dem Leader has called for Comey to be fired.

Here, the Democratic leader now that he is referring to is Schumer, who may have called in the past for Comey's firing - I do not remember that.
