Senator Lindsey Graham, RS.C., is battling efforts to condemn President Trump in the Senate after he was barred for the second time by the House of Representatives, and Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky. , Should do the same Graham told Fox News’ “Hannity” on Tuesday.
“What we need now is for Senator McConnell to say unequivocally that Donald Trump’s second impeachment after he leaves office is not only unconstitutional, it is bad for the country,” said Graham, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee. “Get up and fight back.”
Graham praised McConnell for helping President Trump with “everything he did” and referred to the majority leader as a legislative “street fighter”.
The senator extended his appeal to all Republican members, emphasizing the alleged unconstitutionality of seeking a conviction after Trump left office.

“Our country needs to heal,” he said. “A second impeachment of Donald Trump after he leaves office will not heal the country, it will further divide the country.
“As for the Republican Party, if we throw in the towel, or we are perceived to have thrown in the towel, and we don’t fight this impeachment, the Republican Party, as Rand Paul said, will ‘fall apart’.”

According to Graham, 90% of Republicans believe that the latest impeachment effort is unconstitutional and “unfair”. Denouncing him, he argued, is the Senate’s last chance to firmly close the book on Trump’s presidency.
“We have a chance here for the country’s future to say that there is an end to all of this,” he said. “As soon as the person leaves office, we will not pursue him.”
