This is who you take at face value? This is who you give credence to?

The Senator who conspired with Lara Logan on her failed Benghazi report?

I am stunned that after that fiasco, any liberal or progressive would take Lindsey Graham seriously, and use him as a source for anything. That you would find him believable on any issue suggests to me a lack of discernment.

How many times does the man have to lie for you to stop believing him? Wasn't the Benghazi report enough?

Or do you believe him on Benghazi?
