Republican Lindsay Graham begs FOX viewers to contribute to his campaign: " I am being killed financially"

Senator Lady Lindsay Graham begged "FOX & Friends" viewers to contribute to his coffers this morning, claiming his Democratic opponent Jaime Harrison has raised $6M over the weekend, due to Justice Bader Ginsberg's passing on Friday. Harrison and Graham are neck and neck in most polls, though over the weekend some polls show Harrison is a good three points ahead of Graham.

“My opponent will raise almost $100 million in the state of South Carolina,” said Graham. “The most money ever spent in the state on a Senate race was by me in 2014 when I spent $13 million. He raised $6 million from the time Justice Ginsburg passed away, within 72 hours and God bless Justice Ginsburg. We’re celebrating her life. I appreciate waiting ’til Saturday to announce her replacement. But I am being killed financially. This money is because they hate my guts.”

A whopping $91 million was raised on ActBlue after the justice passed away and Harrison was the seventh top donation target behind Vice President Joe Biden and the various Democratic party committees.

These poor DC millionaires. I tell you, I just feel so bad for them! They're the ones with the real problems.

Lucky for them, there are enough podunk Trumpers ready to get on their hands and knees, giving their money away.

These fucking clowns can't even get a stimulus deal passed and have the audacity to ask US for money?

Notice it's the Republicans (Trump, Graham) who are suffering financially this election season, and not the Democrats ? The big donors are staying far away from the GOP, and that should tell them something.

And if anyone should go on television and cry about being 'financially killed', it should be the 30 million people out of work, as well as the small business owners who are closing their businesses thanks to Trump.

Agreed.
