Lindsey Graham Suggests GOP Senators Leave Town to Stop Vote on Reconciliation Bill: ‘Hell Yeah I Would Leave!’

Senator Lindsey Graham (R- SC) suggested that Senate Republicans take a page from Texas Democrats and leave D.C. to stop a vote on the reconciliation bill from the Biden administration and congressional Democrats.

He told Maria Bartiromo that the reconciliation package “is not infrastructure, it’s big government, a liberal wish list.”

Graham then went on to reference the Texas Democrats who fled the state to stop Republicans from voting on new election law:

Before Republicans beat up on the Democrats in Texas for leaving Texas too much, if for some reason they pass reconciliation, budget resolution to bring that bill to the floor of the United States Senate, the $3.5 trillion bill, you’ve got have a quorum to pass a bill in the the Senate, I would leave before I’d let that happen. So to my Republican colleagues, we may learn something from our Democratic friends in Texas when it comes to avoiding a $3.5 trillion tax and spend package. Leave town.

When Bartiromo asked if he would really consider this move, Graham said, “Hell yeah, I would leave!”

“I will use everything lawfully in my toolbox to prevent rampant inflation,” he continued. “If it takes me not showing up to stop that, I will do it because if we pass that bill, you’re going to have inflation through the roof.”
