Lindsey Graham: Trump Should Nominate Ted Cruz To SCOTUS And Democrats Better Not Try To Block Him

Greenville’s NBC affiliate reports:

Sen. Lindsey Graham made a stop Friday in the Upstate. Graham attended the Veterans Day ceremony at Greenville Memorial Hospital and spoke with WYFF News 4’s Patrick Hussion about the open seat on the Supreme Court. He said President-elect Donald Trump should nominate Sen. Ted Cruz for the seat.

“I’m here to tell my Democratic colleagues that I voted for Obama’s nominees. I expect them to give Trump’s nominees a fair shake. He won this election. He will pick a conservative. I would put Ted Cruz on that list,”Graham told Hussion. The senator feels that Trump should look within the Senate when deciding on a Supreme Court nominee.

“There are some really strong people in there. And there is no stronger constitutional conservative than Ted Cruz,” Graham said. Graham warned Senate Democrats. “If they try to block this pick, they will regret it. If you don’t honor Trump’s nominee, you’re making a huge mistake,” Graham said.
