The South Carolina Republican and the other GOP senators blocked the confirmation of Merrick Garland, Barack Obama’s nomination for the Supreme Court, in February 2016, Obama’s final year. Graham swore he would do the same for a Republican president.
If there’s a Supreme Court opening in the “last year of President’s Trump’s term, and the primary process has started, we’ll wait ’til the next election†to confirm a new justice, Graham swore in a 2018 Atlantic interview featured in the ad.
In light of these two events, I will support President @realDonaldTrump in any effort to move forward regarding the recent vacancy created by the passing of Justice Ginsburg.

“We knew Lindsey Graham was a hypocrite, but he really secured his place in the Hypocrite Hall of Fame,†Lauren Harper of LMG PAC said in a statement. “Senator Graham once again confirmed to the people of South Carolina that he’s willing to break his promises when it is politically convenient for him and his political party.â€
