Hiding something?
Lindsey Graham refuses to get a COVID test before he debates Jaime Harrison. Now why would he do that? Because he has it or suspects he has it?
A debate between incumbent Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and his Democratic challenger, Jamie Harrison, scheduled for Friday night was cancelled after Harrison demanded both candidates be tested for Covid-19 before the debate and Graham refused, leading the organizers to replace it with separate televised interviews.
Why refuse? Remember when people couldn’t get a test? Why would anyone refuse?
Last week, Graham said he tested negative for the coronavirus after President Donald Trump announced his Covid-19 diagnosis. Three senators, two of whom are on the Judiciary Committee, which Graham chairs, have tested positive for the coronavirus. Sen. Mike Lee (R-Utah) and Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) were both at the Rose Garden ceremony for the nomination for Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court. Several other members of Congress, members of the administration and top military officers have since tested positive or decided to self-quarantine.
But Graham refuses to get a test. Huh.
If he doesn’t get a test, he can’t possibly have covid. Science!
And on a totally unrelated note, the Senate Judiciary Committee is scheduled to begin hearings on Trump’s SC nominee Monday.
I think Holms has nailed it. As the Dear Leader explained months ago, if you didn’t do so much testing you wouldn’t have so many cases. Simple as that. Testing causes Covid-19.
I’m pretty sure his refusal to get a test is just a politically expedient way to get out of the debate¹ without actually refusing to debate.
¹ Perhaps a better term might be “serial monologue with interruptions”.
