Jaime Harrison, the former chairman of South Carolina’s Democratic Party who is challenging Graham in 2020, blasted Graham on Thursday, tweeting: “Senator Graham, in SC we have spines. Do us a favor and find yours.”

“When your only concern is covering your political ass — you joke about undermining the US Constitution, sell out your constituents, and abandon your moral compass,” Harrison wrote.
