Sen. Lindsey Graham: Benghazi report 'full of crap'

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) on Sunday shredded a recently released report that concluded the Obama administration did not engage in an alleged cover-up to hide details about the Benghazi embassy attack.

"I think the report is full of crap," he said on CNN's State of the Union.

Released Friday by the GOP-led House Intelligence Committee, the report concluded the Obama administration did not deliberately mislead the public about what it knew about the attack. And it dispelled various conspiracy theories surrounding the attack, including the claim that the military issued a "stand down" order to not save the four Americans who were killed in the incident.
