Lindsey must have pulled some muscle yesterday. The Spartanburg county GOP was convening together on the heels of the Greenville county censure of Senator Graham. Being neighboring counties, there was a lot of pressure and press prior to the meeting to propose a similar measure.
Despite the well publicized meeting, not enough members appeared in order to have quorum. They missed quorum by one member. What an embarrassing chicken maneuver. It’s almost a Gang of 14 type of action. Rather than fighting and defending their principals they run and hide.
Should a censure measure had been proposed and successful; it would have been the beginning of the end for Lindsey Graham. My hat is off to Lindsey, however for the members of the Spartanburg county GOP … shame on you.
Below are a few articles on the matter:
