Graham Censured by South Carolina County Republicans

Republican leaders in a South Carolina county “have censured their own U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham for working with Democrats on a climate bill and other legislation,” the AP reports.

The Republican has often worked with Democrats in Congress, but Charleston County Chairwoman Lin Bennett says his work on climate legislation is the last straw.

The party resolution passed Monday says Graham has weakened the Republican brand. Bennett expects a similar resolution to be introduced at the state GOP convention next year.

Graham spokesman Kevin Bishop says Graham is looking for a way forward on energy legislation.
