There is plenty of evidence of wrongdoing on the part of Democrat nominee Joe Biden, even without the details contained in a reported trove of emails from his son, Hunter, Sen. Lindsey Graham said Friday.
"Well, number one, forget about the emails," the South Carolina Republican said on Fox News' "Fox and Friends." "We do know that Hunter Biden received millions of dollars from Burma, the most corrupt natural gas company in Ukraine."
It's also important to remember that Joe Biden was speaking with Ukraine's leaders about corruption, "his son is on the board of the most corrupt gas company in Ukraine," Graham added. "Can you imagine if Donald Trump ... if this had been somebody in the Trump family got this sweetheart deal?"
Meanwhile, Facebook and Twitter this week put up blocks so that people could not share the New York Post's expose on the Biden's emails, and Graham said that he and Sens. Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley plan to call Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey next week to come and explain the site's censorship decisions.
"These social media companies have a lot of control over our lives," said Graham. "I think they are a threat to democracy. When you can shut down the flow of information, when you can censor what millions of Americans would see, that's a threat to democracy."
Graham also commented on Biden's town hall comment that the outcome of confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett will determine whether he supports packing courts.
"Joe Biden is going to do whatever he is told to do by the left," said Graham. "You know, Sen. Dianne Feinstein said something nice to me at the hearing about the way I was patient and allowed the Democrats to talk. She is going to vote against Barrett ... look what happened to her when we hugged for about five seconds. The left came down on her and wants to kick her out of her job. Joe Biden is going to live in fear of these people."
