Another day, another Senator showing us how unqualified they are

It’s always comforting to see how unqualified the people who control your country are for their positions. The latest instance of this is with Senator Lindsey Graham who, in his own words, has literally never sent an email in his life. Keep in mind that this man is a member of the Senate Subcommittee on Privacy, Technology, and the Law. This means that someone who has never used one of the most essential tools on the Internet is shape the nation’s Internet policy. 

Discussing the controversy over former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton using her personal email account for government business, a top Senate Republican revealed that he has never sent an email in his life. “I don’t email,” Sen. Lindsey Graham (S.C.) said. “You can have every email I’ve ever sent. I’ve never sent one.” “Meet the Press” host Chuck Todd had asked Graham whether he had a private email account because Graham said he wanted to know if other cabinet secretaries besides Clinton used private accounts during their tenure. Graham said he did have a few questions about Clinton’s email. “Did she communicate on behalf of Clinton Foundation as secretary of state?” Graham said. “Did she call the terrorist attack in Benghazi a terrorist attack in real time? I want to know.” Several other lawmakers weighed in on the Clinton emails Sunday, mostly with a skeptical tone toward the former secretary of state. Sen. Dianne Feinstein (Calif.), the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, said rules for preserving email were vague during Clinton’s tenure but that Clinton nevertheless ought to clear things up.
