Tim Scott on the Loss of Lindsey Graham: He Embodied This Notion That, When Necessary, ‘Be Strong, But on the Path to Peace’

RUSH EXCERPT:
SCOTT: "The philosophy, Jake, of peace through strength can really is what Lindsey Graham embodied. I know that we talk a lot about his ability and his willingness to go anywhere in the world to cut a deal, frankly, to make Americans safer when they travel abroad and here at home. But the one thing we have to realize about him is that that peace through strength motto is exactly what he tried to live. He embodied this notion that when necessary, be strong. But on the path to peace. And it‘s one of the reasons why he was so dedicated to this Ukraine conflict. He wanted to save as many lives as humanly possible, and he did everything in his power. This is one of the reasons, Jake, you‘re hearing from world leaders today that Lindsey Graham was always on the campaign trail, not for his reelection. Frankly, sometimes he talked so much about foreign policy that it could have hurt his reelection, but it was just who he was. He couldn‘t help but try to look for another way to make the world safer, to make America safer, and to do the things that he thought was necessary, even if it was unpopular. He was literally one of the most one of the edgiest guys as it relates to foreign policy you‘D ever meet. But it was never because he was a war monger. It was because he wanted to see peace in every place possible and if necessary, peace becomes a part of what happens. If you need to use our kinetic response tools"
