Weekend Update - 7.12.26
Good afternoon, and welcome to our Weekend Update. Last night we got the tragic news that U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham had passed. He was tough, hard-working, and dedicated. He was a man who was never afraid to fight for what was right. I had the privilege of knowing him both professionally and personally, through meetings and briefings over the years. Not long ago, I had lunch with him, and he gave me a hat that read, “Make Iran Great Again.” He wanted to see the Iranian people freed from the terrorist regime that oppresses them, so they could finally live lives of opportunity and freedom, not fear. Senator Graham was a force in Washington, and he will be truly missed. Shelley and I are keeping his family, loved ones, and the people of South Carolina, whom he served for so long, in our thoughts and prayers.
