NBC News reports:
Sen. Lindsey Graham told NBC News’ “Meet the Press” on Sunday that North Carolina Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson “has an obligation to defend himself” following reports last week that Robinson made lewd posts on a pornographic website over a decade ago.
“The charges are beyond unnerving. If they’re true, he’s unfit to serve for office,” Graham said. “If they’re not true, he has the best lawsuit in the history of the country for libel.”
“If I were him, I would hire me the best lawyer I could find. I’d sue the hell out of CNN,” Graham added, also saying that Robinson “has an obligation to defend himself” because “this is hanging over his campaign.”

In the second clip below, Graham goes on to say that Trump and other Republicans “should not be held responsible” for Robinson’s words.
Meanwhile Graham, Trump and other Republicans cast all Democrats as villains whenever a Democrat is in the news for bad behavior.
