Lindsey Graham hits back at Susan Rice for calling him a 'piece of s---'
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Former National Security Adviser Susan Rice is a "walking, talking national security disaster" who consistently failed at her job during her time in the Obama administration, said Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., on Twitter Thursday.
Graham's tweet was in response to Rice calling him a "piece of s---" in a preview clip of a Wednesday interview with "Pod Save the World." Rice went after Graham while discussing the 2012 Benghazi attack and dropped several expletives.
"He's been a piece of s---," Rice said. "I said it, I said it, da-- it. Finally. He's a piece of s---."

In his Twitter response, Graham also took issue with Obama and Rice's foreign policy record, saying: "Susan Rice was a walking, talking national security disaster. Her 'Greatest Hits': Benghazi Debacle, Iran Nuclear Deal, Iraq Withdrawal/Creation of ISIS, Syria Red Line, Rwanda Genocide. If she agreed with me, I would wonder what I did wrong!"
