Lindsey Graham Threatens To Block Nominations Over Benghazi

[Mayhem]

Sen. Lindsey Graham is threatening to hold up all nominations for federal government positions until survivors of last year's deadly ****** on the diplomatic post in Libya appear before Congress.

The South Carolina Republican made the threat Monday on his official Twitter account.

The tweet said: "Where are the #Benghazi survivors? I'm going to block every appointment in the US Senate until they are made available to Congress."

Graham is among lawmakers who are not satisfied with information they've received so far on the ****** in Benghazi, Libya, that ****** Ambassador Chris Stevens and three other Americans on Sept. 11, 2012.

Prominent nominations awaiting Senate confirmation include Janet Yellen for chair of the Federal Reserve and Jeh Johnson for secretary of the Department of Homeland Security.

More GOP obstructionist bullshit. Weaken our government while refusing to admit that Benghazi has been resolved. I have no problem with Congress calling anyone they want to testify. But I don't know what Graham thinks the Benghazi survivors are going to say that hasn't already been said. But holding up a Fed chair nomination over an unrelated issue? Absolutely irresponsible.

And obstructing the DHS Secretary position. While I personally wouldn't mind if that particular position stayed vacant for the next 100 years, how is Graham serving the American people or his constituents with this nonsense?
