GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham: Russia invaded Ukraine because of Benghazi

[MindMover]

South Carolina’s senior senator, Republican Lindsey Graham, has long been second to none — not even his good buddy Sen. John McCain — when it comes to obsessing over the 2012 terrorist attack on the U.S. mission in Benghazi. Seriously, he’s relentless.

And yet, we have to admit we were still surprised to find on Tuesday that this tweet, which was sent out from his official Twitter account, actually exists in the world and is not a ham-fisted joke from Bill Maher or Jon Stewart:

It started with Benghazi. When you kill Americans and nobody pays a price, you invite this type of aggression. #Ukraine

I think certain Republicans think Benghazi is the reason Jesus Christ will return ...

4. Senator Graham's Benghazi obsession.....

Has gone from infuriating, to amusing, to oddly tragic, to just plain predictable... I half expect him to proclaim that Benghazi will be responsible for the results of the 2014 elections.

5. Was Benghazi also the reason that the Russians attacked Georgia in 2008?

I don't recall Lindsay blaming Bush for that invasion.

8. No, but Bengazi was the reason Saddam Hussein flew aircraft into the WTC on 9/11/01

6. the problem is....

The problem is NO ONE...NO ONE in the media will call him out. No one will call out McCain, or any elected official when these preposterous comments are made. The media, liberal or conservative just allow the shit to flow from their mouths, not caring who or what it affects. I once want to hear a journalist, not these people who claim to be, but a real, true journalist ask, "can you prove this", "did you see that". etc. I want someone to look Graham in the eye and ask why he hates soldiers, why he wants soldiers to die..same with McCain...war mongers, send the soldiers to die is what they want.....Graham, McCain, et al. will go on Fox News and spout crap.... and we just laugh and say ohhh what idiots.....

They have become so dumbed down that have no idea what the truth is or what questions to ask.
They just want to please Daddy..

7. this guy is giving aid and comfort to the enemy

with his constant public harping on the fact that he despises the POTUS. The man is a disgrace to the Senate.
