CNN's Chris Cuomo would love to know what Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham is so mad about
If Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) ever accepts CNN host Chris Cuomo's invitation to appear on his show, he should expect a bottle of Xanax or at least an edible in his welcome basket.
Graham had an over-the-top reaction to basically everything that happened during Thursday's Senate Judiciary Committee hearing. He spent much of the day contorting his face and jabbing his fingers at an invisible opponent, calling the hearing an "unethical sham" and "the most despicable thing that I have ever seen in my time in politics," and accusing Democrats of attempting to "destroy" Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh's life.

Clearly, all Graham wants is for the Supreme Court to go his way, Cuomo said, and he didn't go into the hearing hoping to uncover new information or get questions answered. Cuomo may still not know what the hell Graham is so angry about, but he is certain that fury outweighed facts at the hearing. Watch the video below. Catherine Garcia
