Senator Lindsey Graham tonight ripped Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Twitter over her holding articles of impeachment and saying Senate Republicans should take action if she doesn’t send over the articles of impeachment in a timely manner.

Graham tweeted she should “fish or cut bait” and “Commit to sending the Articles of Impeachment to the Senate consistent with Constitutional obligations.”

If not, he added, “Senate Republicans should take matters into our own hands. We are in charge of the Senate — not Pelosi or Schumer.”

Graham also called her actions “an affront to the Constitution,” after Mitch McConnell this morning said what she’s doing is “absurd.”

It’s time for @SpeakerPelosi, who claimed impeachment was a national imperative, to fish or cut bait.

If she refuses, Senate Republicans should take matters into our own hands. We are in charge of the Senate — not Pelosi or Schumer.

Speaker Pelosi’s actions are an affront to the Constitution, the Senate, and denies President @realDonaldTrump his day in court.

This case should mirror the process used in the Clinton impeachment and should come to an end in weeks, not months.
