Spencer is spot on.

The last conversation Lindsey Graham had with President Trump last night was about pushing to get the SAVE America Act passed.

@LeaderJohnThune, if you won’t do the right thing and pass it because it’s what 86% of the country wants, then at least do it to honor Graham’s legacy.

Lindsey Graham’s tribute to his dear friend Joe Lieberman broke every rule—because laughter was the only way to hide his broken heart. If you’ve never seen this before, it’s mush-watch material 👇🏻👇🏻

This you?

[Marc Thiessen @marcthiessen]

It’s entirely possible he just had a heart attack. But it’s not a conspiracy theory to suggest something else might be at play. Putin has poisoned and assassinated many of his opponents, and Graham was just in Kyiv where there are certainly FSB agents operating. There should be a full autopsy and tox screen to rule out foul play.

A U.S. Senator dies - and an Imam in Texas celebrates.

We are at war - and only one side understands it.

Lindsay Graham's net worth was only 1.4M.

I hardly call that rich in today's world.

He made 174K as a Senator

He was no Nancy Pelosi or Marjorie Taylor Greene.

He spent 23 years in office.

If anyone could have gotten fat rich off defense contracts, it was him.

He actually never abused the insider track.

Lindsey Graham leading the Senate delegation to the opening of the US embassy in Jerusalem, 2018. Not one elected Democrat came. Never forget that. A manifestly good event, a change promised by presidents from both parties, and Democrats boycotted. Lindsey Graham was there. 🇺🇸🇮🇱

All time moment from a great defender of the West & of the institution of the Senate itself. RIP to Sen Lindsey Graham. A true statesman.

[Piers Morgan @piersmorgan]

Seeing the despicably cruel, heartless and abusive way that many people in UK and US have responded to the deaths of conservative politicians, Ann Widdecombe and Lindsey Graham, reminds me that the least kind people on earth are ironically those on the #BeKind woke left.

Lindsey Graham came from humble beginnings and became one of the most powerful lawmakers in the most powerful nation on Earth. His story was a fundamentally American one.

Early in my Senate tenure, I remember getting into a shouting match with Lindsey about a Ukraine funding bill at lunch and then learning the very next day that he was pushing rail legislation I really cared about behind the scenes. That was Lindsey Graham. He fought like hell for the things he believed in, and he was just as willing to go to bat for you when it counted.

Lindsey had the best sense of humor in the Senate. He loved the game of politics. He was constantly asking which races were up and down, and how he could help. As he liked to say, “I don't care if you're an isolationist or a religious fanatic, so long as you have an R next to your name, I want you to win.”

We certainly had our disagreements. But I couldn't help but like him. A one of a kind figure in our politics. I'll be praying for him and his family.

At the end of a particularly thrilling and rollicking meeting in the Oval Office, Lindsey Graham turned to the room and said: “I’ve never had this much fun in my life.”

I cannot describe to you how much joy President Trump’s leadership and friendship brought to Lindsey. Meetings with Graham at the White House were filled with camaraderie, kinship and uproarious laughter.

As heartbreaking as his sudden passing is, I hope it will bring some measure of comfort to those who cherished him to know just how much he was living his dream every day. Very rarely in life do you get to be exactly where you want to be, when you want to be there, with who you want to be with, doing precisely what you want to do — that was every moment for Lindsey.

When President Trump won in Nov 2024, Lindsey was exultant. Elated. And determined. He couldn’t wait to spearhead work, as the Budget Chairman, on the reconciliation bill that would cement President Trump’s most important campaign promises. I’ll never forget the senate lunch, when a couple Senators were a tad off the program, and Lindsey — in his inimitable way — made sure everyone was onside by the time we left. It was a glorious thing to witness. He knew how to move a room.

Lindsey was a senator’s senator. The job was everything to him. Truly did he believe in the splendor of the office and the noble lineage behind it, of which he was the worthy heir.

He was a senator in the mold of those who fashioned the institution, someone who still had the ability, in a heated exchange, to use rhetorical power to change the course of events.

Which is why we will never forget his legendary Kavanaugh moment. We rarely think that we are out of time with our friends, so while there is a lot more I wish I could have said to Lindsey, I am glad that more than once I told him what that moment meant to the whole nation and why he was the only Senator who could have done it with such utter perfection.

Most importantly, I had the chance to tell him on many occasions what his friendship meant to me and to us all. There was never once a time he didn’t answer a phone call and lend whatever assistance was required. It was never a question with Lindsey. He believed deeply in the code of friendship and loyalty.

The fact that Lindsey started out as a political opponent only to become one the President’s most steadfast and faithful supporters underscores that Lindsey believed emphatically in the voice of the people.

There is a lot more I would like to say. His passing, at a time when he had never been more dynamic, is as unexpected as it is shocking. In many respects, Lindsey was the last of a breed of American Senator whose like we may not yet see again for a long time.

He lived every minute in the arena, a political gladiator to the very last.

More than anything now, our thoughts are with his Sister, nieces and loved ones.

We pray that God will ease their sorrow and heal their pain.

Lindsey can never be replaced and will never be forgotten.

Godspeed, my friend.

JUST IN: President Trump calls into CNN to share his first public remarks on the passing of Senator Lindsey Graham.

Trump revealed that he had spoken with Graham just moments before his death and said there were no signs that anything was wrong.

TAPPER: “What are your thoughts about Lindsey Graham this morning?”

TRUMP: “Well, it’s devastating. I thought he was fine. He called me last night.”

“He just got back from Ukraine and he had a great trip. He was telling me about the trip. He was pushing very, very hard—you probably know—he wanted to do the SAVE America Act. He was talking about that.”

“He was full of vim and vigor. He was tired. He said, ‘I’m tired because it’s a long trip.’ But other than that, he was fine.”

“And he called me, I guess, just moments before because he called me like at 6:30 or something. And the medical people got there a little bit later, right after that.”

“What a terrible loss it is. He’s a great politician. He was a natural. There are very few of them...he was a natural politician.”
