​Newsweek Senior Editor-at-Large Josh Hammer says US Senator Lindsey Graham’s defence of Brett Kavanaugh at a Senate Judiciary hearing was him at his “absolute best”. ​“[Lindsey Graham] was the establishment, then he came out swinging and swinging and swinging,” Mr Hammer told Sky News host Rita Panahi. ​“It was… maybe the single greatest moment of Lindsey Graham’s US Senate career. ​“It did a lot to rile up the passions and emotions during that very contentious week to try to ensure that Brett Kavanaugh did indeed end up on the US Supreme Court. ​“It was Lindsey Graham at his absolute best. ​“A man who was not always a bare-knuckle brawler, but when the stakes were high, he came to play, and he ultimately knew what was right for South Carolina and right for his country.”
