A 1999 video showed then-Representative Lindsey Graham stating the need for witnesses during Bill Clinton's impeachment trial.

Graham, a South Carolina representative at the time, spoke about the reasons he wanted witnesses in Clinton's impeachment."The whole point that we're trying to make is that in every trial that there's ever been in the Senate, regarding impeachment, witnesses were called," he told C-SPAN. At the time, Graham said that if the Senate didn't"get to call meaningful witnesses" that"you're basically changing impeachment.

Graham also stated that Clinton's innocence or guilt could not be found without witness testimony. Clinton's articles of impeachment accused him of perjury and obstruction of justice, providing false and misleading evidence about the nature of his relationship with Monica Lewinsky and trying to tamper with witness testimony."I want to leave behind a clear record that the president committed perjury. He's saying vigorously he's innocent.

What is honesty? I guess that was only meant for Democrats.

If one digs long enough there is probably footage of all these hypocrites contradicting themselves over recent statements. Do they not realize that they are recorded and that these recordings my come back to haunt them. No principles whatsoever.

No show shumer arguing against

How come Kevin Hart was castigated for very old tweets but this guy .... not so much !!!!

Im sure it has nothing to do with the fact you that Clinton was a dem and Trump a republican

Hypocrisy at its lamest! Go away graham cracker. Amy McGrath will have no problem winning!

LindseyGrahamSC was a different man before becoming LeningradLindsey.

A hypocrite many times over. Lacks a moral center and much lived by those who admire situational ethics. You would never ever want this man in your foxhole.

It's obvious to all that LindseyGrahamSC is severely compromised and no one should expect him to behave in a manner that will jeopardize Trump or his own secrets coming to bear. RonanFarrow, if you are listening . . . .

LindseyGrahamSC has an evil twin.

21 years ago....who cares.

Congrats, u found hypocrisy in politics! Bravo! I guess it doesnt matter that Bill Clinton committed & was impeached with BIPARTISAN support for a REAL crime! Lying to fed investigators & grand jury UNDER OATH & directing lewinsky to LIE! U or I would go to prison for that.

So Dems get witnesses in the Senate now, right?
