Graham’s abrupt death will send shock waves through Washington and the Republican party
Donald Trump has said that he spoke to Lindsey Graham on Saturday night shortly before he died.
The president told NBC’s Meet the Press that Graham called him yesterday evening after he got back from Ukraine and said, “we’re all set for the Save America Act.”
In our recent meeting, I said, ‘Lindsey is a great friend of Israel and a cherished friend of mine. We have no better friend than Lindsey.’ Lindsey understood that the security of Israel and America are inseparable.
He devoted his life to defending America, strengthening our alliance and standing up for the free world. Israel has lost one of its greatest friends.
I am shocked and heartbroken to learn of the sudden passing of the great American patriot, a great friend of Israel, and my dear friend US Senator Lindsey Graham.
Senator Graham was a beacon of moral clarity and a true leader of the US-Israel partnership. We will never forget how he stood by the people of Israel in our most difficult moments, and we will remain eternally grateful for his sense of justice, truth, and loyalty.
