Graham: ‘Clinton Did a Good Job When It Came To Dealing with Our Problems in Africa’

He also said, ‘I’ve got a real good chance’ of beating her

HEWITT: “Senator Graham, took a shot at there and you're having a good debate but there is this problem of Washington elites and saying wonderful things about each other.”
GRAHAM: “I've been called a lot of things but never elite before. My dad owned a liquor store, a bar and a poolroom. So only in America can you go from the back of a liquor store to being an elite.”
HEWITT: “Is that responsive to calling Hillary Clinton a national treasure, Senator?” 
GRAHAM: “I introduced her at a conference about Africa. I thought Secretary Clinton did a good job when it came to dealing with our problems in Africa, particularly among women. George W. Bush set $40 billion aside and Rick Santorum helped him and President Bush wiped out an entire -- wiped out AIDS and malaria for an entire generation of young African children. Secretary Clinton -- (Applause) -- Secretary Clinton did a good -- here's my problem with Secretary Clinton. Where the hell were you on the night of the Benghazi attack? How did you let it become a death threat to begin with? And why did you lie about what happened to these people? And if you want a new change in terms of foreign policy, don't pick her, because she's his secretary of state. I've got a real good chance of beating her, because I don't say things bad about her all the time -- just when she deserves it. And her definition of flat broke and mine are a little bit different.”
