Tim Scott: More Than a Decade Ago, Lindsey Graham Ran for President and Was Aggressive Against Trump, He Wanted to Win

RUSH EXCERPT:
SCOTT: "There‘s no doubt if you if you rewind more than a decade, you‘ll find Lindsey Graham as a strong guy running for president, trying to make his case to the American people. And he was as aggressive against Donald j. Trump at the time as he could possibly be. He wanted to win. He had a strong desire to win. And over time, however, Lindsey Graham‘s clarity and transparency caught the attention of President Trump. And as a result, they spent more time together. They did not always agree, but they always agreed to disagree without being disagreeable. Now, if you were in the room, as I have been on a couple of occasions, you might not think that. But the truth of the matter is that they figured out how to have a friendship. And Jake, a lot of times friendships happen not at a kitchen table, not frankly, in the Oval Office, but for them, it happened on the golf course. And these two guys loved golf. I think Lindsey would say president wins more than I do, but he played pretty aggressively against the president. And I think it was that competitive spirit that they both loved and admired about each other. And Lindsey was super smart and witty. He had the ability to make you laugh, but he was making a point in the midst of it. And President Trump really understood that. And their relationship over the next 10 years, so to speak, from the time they were running against each other, became something that Lindsey could count on and President Trump could count on to. I can tell you, they played golf together more than any two other folks in public office at any time. If I think in history."
