Lindsey Graham, whose Benghazi hissy fit will not end.
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) has some harsh words for fellow Republican Hal Rogers, and his committee's
report confirming the other five reports on Benghazi completed thus far that the administration hasn't covered up anything about the attack. Graham just
won't accept that.
"I think the report is full of crap," Graham said on CNN's "State of the Union."
The senator insisted that members of the administration altered the Benghazi talking points after the attack.
"I'm saying that anybody who has followed Benghazi at all knows that the CIA deputy director did not come forward to tell Congress what role he played in changing the talking points," he said. "And the only way we knew he was involved is when he told a representative at the White House, I'm going to do a hard review of this, a hard rewrite."
Huckleberry clearly isn't ready to let it go. But his fellow Republican Sen. Jeff Flake is
over it.
"Well, I've always thought the biggest problem with Benghazi is how it was cast by the administration and the remarks that Susan Rice just really threw in the face of what we knew was going on," Flake responded. "But with regard to the other things that were addressed by this report, well, yes, I thought for a long time that we ought to move beyond that."
When a Republican says enough already, maybe it's enough already. Flake, however, is in the minority here. And there's no way House Republicans are going to let this one go. Once they've got their teeth into something (53 Obamacare repeal votes?), and they can keep making "news" with it to keep the issue alive, they won't quit. Not as long as "news" organizations keep reporting on it as if it were a real thing.
