Sen. Graham says COVID is real but we all have to suffer and work through it

Today is a kind of opening ceremony for the entire charade of having a hearing now.

Graham opens by invoking RBG as "someone who worked for the ACLU" as though that's supposed to be shade.

Graham is giving RBG's history here and I don't think it's going to play to ACB's benefit the way Republicans will try and make it.

Everything the Republicans are doing with the Barrett nomination is a coopting of RBG's legacy
