And he’s still too dumb to take it.
The South Carolina senator basically offered the attorney general a “get out of jail free” card during the AG’s April 19 Senate Judiciary Committee testimony.
Graham, in an obviously rhetorical question, said (semi-direct quote from listening to an NPR rehash), “These were all about personality conflicts, weren’t they?”
Easy way for Gonzo to admit that yes, they weren’t performance-based (since not a single GOP senator will defend that one), but deny they were based on the GOP’s jihad about purging minority voters from voter lists and otherwise turning voting rights issues on its head.
Sounds like a great out. I bet Graham could have lined up Senate GOP support for that talking point; he may even have done it before he threw it out there.
But, V-05 is, and was, just too damn dumb.
