Sen. Lindsey Graham said Monday he will hold up “every appointment” in the Senate until more questions are answered on Benghazi.
“I’m going to block every appointment in the United States Senate until the survivors [of the attack in Benghazi] are being made available to the Congress,” Graham said on Fox News’s “Fox and Friends.” “I’m tired of hearing from people on TV and reading about stuff in books.”
Graham (R-S.C.), who also tweeted about wanting to talk to those survivors, said Congress needs to “up its game”. He called for a joint select committee and addressed House Republicans on their efforts to continue pressing the administration on Benghazi.

“If we don’t have a joint select committee to get out of this stove piping problem, we’re never going to get the truth,” Graham said.
“To my House colleagues, [Rep.] Darrell Issa has done great job. To Speaker [John] Boehner, please for God’s sakes, form a joint committee to get away from this blame game and find out exactly what happened,” Graham said.
Graham also said that he thinks information has been classified for “political reasons more than anything else” and that Congress will continue to push this issue.
“We’re just beginning on Benghazi,” the senator said. “And to the families, we’re not going to let this go.”
