'A True American Original': As Trump Honors Sen. Lindsey Graham, Franklin Graham Shares the Gospel

Washington said farewell Tuesday to the late Sen. Lindsey Graham and celebrated his legacy, first with his flag-draped casket in the Capitol Rotunda, and later, at a funeral service at Washington's National Cathedral, where President Trump hailed him as "a true American original." Trump honored Graham and his journey "from that pool hall where his parents raised him, to the halls of the United States Senate, where he was respected and this son of South Carolina became one of the most important men in the most important country on earth." Graham served four terms in the U.S. Senate since 2002, and was running for a fifth when he died. A conservative firebrand, he advocated for a strong foreign policy, the pro-life cause, and conservative judges. Graham was also a strong supporter of Israel. "But no matter how heated things got in Washington," Trump said, "Virtually everyone, Republican or Democrat, liked Lindsey. Well, not everybody, but it sounds good. Not everybody. He was a tough cookie, okay? I have to veer from this for a second. He was a tough cookie, Darline (Graham's sister). But he was beautiful."
