Sen. Lindsey Graham Lets His Conservative Flag Fly

Normally, Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., is the “Republican that liberals love to like,” writes Politico. “His high-profile deviations from the party line on a number of issues, particularly immigration, mean the Democrats can play ball with him. But Graham is on a “conservative hot streak” on issues from guns to national security. He helped scuttle U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice’s potential nomination for secretary of State. He said former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton “got away with murder” after the terrorist attack in Benghazi. And he’s been the harshest voice on recent Senate panel hearings with Defense secretary-designate Chuck Hagel and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Martin Dempsey.”
