“For more than 30 years, nothing of consequence happened in this capital without Lindsey Graham knowing about it. Nothing of significance happened anywhere in the world without Lindsey Graham having a view on it. And no bill became law in the most exceptional republic in human history without Lindsey Graham having a say in it,” Trump said. “He was a man who gave America the full measure of his good and mighty heart until that heart itself just gave out.”
Hundreds came to pay their respects to the longtime lawmaker who died earlier this month at age 71. President Donald Trump and Fox News host Sean Hannity both spoke about Graham’s life and legacy. Several foreign dignitaries also attended the service, including Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Earlier in the day, Graham was recognized in a ceremony in the Capitol Rotunda, which included tributes from Rep. Sheri Biggs, R-S.C., Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., and Vice President JD Vance.
