In response to news that Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham refused to take a coronavirus test ahead of the South Carolina Senate debate and next week’s SCOTUS hearings, Protect Our Care’s Coronavirus War Room Executive Director Zac Petkanas released the following statement:
“The only reasonable conclusion that can be drawn from refusing to take a COVID test is that Senator Graham believes it would come back positive.
“For the sake of public health, the Supreme Court confirmation hearing must be postponed until after the election.
“The desire to illegitimately pack the Supreme Court with the deciding vote to overturn the Affordable Care Act and end protections for pre-existing conditions in the middle of a killer pandemic is not a good enough reason to risk the health and safety of his colleagues.”
