Lindsey Graham is taking some heat from critics online after the South Carolina senator refused to take a coronavirus test for a debate , leading to unfounded accusations that he may be infected .
As The Hill reported , a debate between Graham and Democratic challenger Jaime Harrison planned for Friday had been scrapped due to a dispute over testing .
Harrison said he would not participate unless Graham first underwent a COVID-19 test , given that he had been in contact with other top Republicans who have tested positive in recent days .
There has not been any indication @ @ @ @ @ @ @ infected , and he has not reported any symptoms .
Graham took aim at his opponent on Twitter for the canceled face-off , accusing the Democrat of ducking the debate because he did not want to defend his “ radical policies.
” But many more critics took aim at Graham , including unfounded allegations that he was positive for coronavirus and did not want to get tested .
The hashtag # LindseyGrahamHasCovid shot to the top of Twitter ’ s trends late on Friday , with many speculating that he had joined Donald @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
As The Inquisitr reported , Graham has often been a target for ridicule among opponents on the left .
The onetime critic of Trump , who has since turned into one of his most fervent supporters , has attracted national opposition , with many donating to his opponent ’ s campaign and even prompting Graham to make public pleas for fundraising help .
The canceled showdown was replaced by a series of separate interviews for the candidates .
Some speculated that he may have some strategic intent in skipping the planned debate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the polling analysis site FiveThirtyEight speculated that Graham was afraid that a confirmation that he has the virus would ensure that Supreme Court hearings could not take place .
“ Repeating myself and others here , but the reason Lindsey Graham won ’ t get tested despite having been exposed to many COVID+ people is because if he reveals a positive test and has to quarantine the Amy Coney Barrett nomination could get scuttled , ” Silver tweeted .
“ There is no other logical reason.
” Others joined Silver in speculating that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vacancy before the election is likely the reason for the refusal to undergo COVID-19 testing .
Graham serves as chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee and would oversee a process that is already thrown into doubt given a series of coronavirus infections for Republican senators .

“Crazy Nancy Pelosi is looking at the 25th Amendment in order to replace Joe Biden with Kamala Harris,” he wrote. “The Dems want that to happen fast because Sleepy Joe is out of it!!!”
Trump published the tweet shortly after House Democrats unveiled legislation to create a special commission that would determine whether a commander-in-chief is fit to serve.
As The Hill reported, the bill would establish the Commission on Presidential Capacity to Discharge the Powers and Duties of Office. The panel would consist of 17 figures, including eight former executive officials, vice presidents, heads of the state, justice, defense and treasury departments. It would also feature former surgeon generals, four psychiatrists and four physicians. Of the 17 members, 16 would be chosen by bipartisan leaders of both chambers of Congress. A seventeenth would be appointed by the other 16 members.
The legislation was sponsored by Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland and it invokes the 25th Amendment to the United States Constitution, which allows Congress to replace a commander-in-chief with his vice president if he is found to be “unable to discharge the powers and duties of his office.”
The bill was seen as a thinly-veiled shot at Trump, viewed in the context of Pelosi’s recent statements. In recent days, Pelosi has repeatedly suggested that the drugs Trump has been given after being infected with the novel coronavirus are impacting his mental state and decision-making.
Still, on Friday, Pelosi said that the initiative is not about Trump, who “will face the judgment of the voters.”
“But he shows the need for us to create a process for future presidents,” she argued.
Republicans have dismissed the legislation as political theatre meant to send a message ahead of the November election.
Notably, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell described it as “absurd.”
“Again, right here in this last three weeks before the election, I think those kinds of wild comments should be largely discounted,” he said in a statement.
Republican Rep. Mark Green of Tennessee accused Pelosi of trying to orchestrate a coup.
“She has already weaponized impeachment, what’s to keep her from weaponizing the 25th amendment?” he asked in a tweet.
As The Hill noted, the bill is all but guaranteed to “fuel” GOP allegations that Biden is suffering from cognitive decline, that he is incapable of running a country, and that Harris would take over as soon as he got elected.
Trump made a similar claim in an interview on Thursday, slamming Harris as a “monster.”

Ted Cruz is warning that the 2020 election could be a “ bloodbath ” for Republicans if Americans don ’ t see some economic relief .
The Texas senator appeared on CNBC on Friday to talk about the progress of talks for a new sweeping stimulus to combat the economic impact of the coronavirus , pointing the finger at Democrats and claiming that they were holding up the process .

“ If people are going back to work , if they ’ re optimistic , if they ’ re positive about the future , we could see a fantastic election : the president getting reelected with a big margin , Republicans winning both Houses of Congress , ” Cruz said .
“ But I also think if on Election Day , people are angry and they ’ ve given up hope and they ’ re depressed , which is what Pelosi and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ think it could be a terrible election .
I think we could lose the White House and both houses of Congress , that it could be a bloodbath of Watergate proportions.

CNN has reported that Trump changed course , telling allies that he is interested in passing a large-scale deal .
