Claire McCaskill (D-MO) said Tuesday\u00a0on MSNBC\u2019s \u201cDeadline\u201d that Sen. Lindsey Graham\u2019s (R-SC) questioning of Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson was \u201cawkward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Guest-host Alex Wagner said, \u201cClaire, what of the drama starring Lindsey Graham, written by Lindsey Graham, lighting and costumes by Lindsey Graham? Lindsey Graham brought the fireworks, the drama, this afternoon when he took his moment to question Judge Jackson to unleash a litany of complaints about how conservatives have been mistreated in hearings and otherwise more broadly in society and stormed out of the hearing. What did you make of that performance? Was it effective? What\u2019s the point of it all?\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>McCaskill said, \u201cI guess I\u2019d have to, you know, figure out who Lindsey was playing to. I guess he was playing to that 25% of the population out there that are big Trump supporters and are the base of the Republican Party right now. It certainly was not the Lindsey Graham of most judiciary committee confirmation hearings. This is a man who voted for a number of Democratic nominees through the years and who typically looked at qualifications and did not engage in histrionics. He had a moment during the Kavanaugh hearings where he used righteous anger, and he believes that turned the tide for Justice Kavanaugh. He may have been right, and I think he\u2019s gotten comfortable in that role. So now he\u2019s kind of the drama guy. I was disappointed.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>She added, \u201cThis was what I thought: This was awkward. He was kind of trying to put on a show.
