Lindsey Graham Rapidly Reverses His Take on the Hegseth Allegations: 'None of It Counts'

He [Hegseth] was also said to have overseen a sexist workplace at a veterans organization he ran, where the top staff sexually pursued female employees, according to a whistleblower report obtained by The New Yorker. A lawyer for Hegseth called the claims “outlandish” and attributed them to a “disgruntled former associate.”

...................

Appearing on Fox News' Hannity, Trump loyalist Graham tried to dismiss all of the allegations against Hegseth in one fell swoop.

“I’ve heard everything about all of these people, none of it counts, no rumors, no innuendo,” he told host Sean Hannity, claiming the anonymity of Hegseth’s accusers renders their stories invalid.

“If you’re not willing to raise your hand, under oath, and make the accusation, it doesn’t count,” Graham added.

What he and Hannity did not note is that Hegseth’s accuser in the 2017 case—which did not lead to charges after a police investigation—signed a nondisclosure agreement as part of a settlement and therefore is likely prohibited from speaking out.

false innuendo. Think of the actions some took, like resigning or dropping their names from nomination because of some slight offense like a DUI. Integrity and honesty and moral character are now laughed at in these United States.

Such a fucking loser. The dossier will eventually get leaked.

Lindsey is just buying time.

It is fun to watch him dance, though...

Info comes out that is really damaging to Trump or some Republican and Graham tells some version of the truth of his opinion by saying these allegations are very disturbing. Then, within hours, all of a sudden, it's "nothing to see here", "it's all just a witch hunt". Obviously Trump or someone close to him is immediately telling Graham to shut up and retract waht he said. And of course, Graham complies every time. You'd think Graham would learn to just keep his mouth shut until he got instructions from Trump in what to say.
