Lindsey Graham - White House Officials Are Scumbags for Lying About Benghazi

Published on May 1, 2014

5-1-14 - Appearing on Mike Gallagher's radio show Thursday morning, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) went after the "scumbags" in the White House who he believes "lied" in the aftermath of the 2012 attacks on a U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya. "Our Democratic friends, for the most part, have been in the tank over Benghazi," the senator said. "Some guy said this about me yesterday on the left: The only reason I cared about this was because I have six tea party opponents. Well, if that's true, I'm the biggest scumbag in America."

"I don't think that's true; I know it's not true," he declared. "It would be almost impossible for Lindsey Graham — given who I am and what I've been doing for the last 20 years — not to care about those in harm's way, who get killed, and not go on to hold the administration accountable that lied about it."

After Gallagher praised the senator's doggedness on pursuing the administration over Benghazi, Graham interjected: "The scumbags are the people in the White House who lied about this."

FYI: For those not familiar with the pejorative, a "scumbag" is a "contemptible or objectionable person," but is slang for a used condom.

One would wonder if he was an asshole, but then he opens his mouth and removes all doubt.

He looks at one every morning when he looks in the mirror. He's just a bit confused on calling others what he sees in that mirror. Smarmy, slimy scum-sucking turd.

Lindsey Graham got it right finally...he admitted he is a scumbag. His one finger pointing at the Whitehouse sorta, kinda forgot that the other three are pointing back at him. But then again having Lindsey Graham in a group of scumbags will only give scumbags an even worse name. When Graham, Canter, Ryan walk into a room the collective IQ takes a nose dive.
