Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) criticized MSNBC Monday evening for airing an interview with accuser Julie Swetnick in which she laid out her uncorroborated allegations involving Brett Kavanaugh.
In the interview with reporter Kate Snow -- who said NBC News could not "independently verify" the claims -- Swetnick alleged Kavanaugh "pawed" at girls while at high school parties, but she stopped short of claiming that he drugged or sexually assaulted her or other women.
Graham said NBC News has been a "co-conspirator in the destruction of Kavanaugh" and has "destroyed their journalistic integrity" with their biased coverage. He also criticized NBC News for reporting an anonymous allegation that Kavanaugh assaulted a person in a restaurant in 1999.
"Do you think NBC would have done that if it had been a male, Democratic nominee?" he asked, alleging that a Democrat on the Senate Judiciary Committee leaked the accuser's letter to NBC after Sen. Cory Gardner (R-Colo.) disclosed it to members.
Meanwhile, On FOX News The Ingraham Angle,' Julie Swetnick's ex-boyfriend, Richard Vinneccy, details why the third Kavanaugh accuser is unreliable. Vinneccy says Swetnick never mentioned having been sexually assaulted.
Vinneccy said his decision to come forward has "nothing to do with political issues," adding that Swetnick threatened his family after they broke up and was "fixated with lawsuits."
He also said that in the seven years they dated, she never mentioned her claim of being a victim of gang rape and her attendance at as many as 10 "gang rape parties" -- some of which she said were also attended by Judge Brett Kavanaugh when he was in high school.
