Graham also voiced his frustration with the whole process and said he was not going to pretended to be neutral in the incredibly partisan process. “I’m not trying to pretend to be a fair juror here. What I see coming, happening today, is just a partisan nonsense,” Graham said.
In the interview, Graham also touched on the Joe and Hunter Biden controversy. He spoke about Biden being a friend but also that the friendship would not get in the way of doing a proper job investigating impropriety. “I love Joe Biden, but none of us are above scrutiny. I’d like to knock all this off and get back on governing the country,” the Senator said.
