PM Netanyahu on the Loss of Lindsey Graham: In Israel It’s Grief, in ‘Iran It’s Celebration,’ Because He Never Confused Good with an Evil

‘He never waivered’

RUSH EXCERPT:
NETANYAHU: "In Israel it’s grief. In Iran it’s celebration because Lindsey never confused good with an evil. He knew exactly where the Iranian regime is. He thought it was a great danger, not only to Israel and to America’s allies in the Middle East and to America itself. He never waivered, you know? He was so clear. He had clarity. He had courage. He had convictions that he believed were at the basis of America and like the superman comics, remember, freedom, justice and the American way. He represented these traditional values and he never flinched. He just – he was absolutely uncaring about the wings of fashion. He believed about it, he spoke about it with candor, and if he wanted to tell me something unpleasant he would do so in his southern drawl and sometimes – I knew something bad was coming when he said, well, you know, you want to take it from a good old southern boy who doesn’t know much about – and then he’D bring it in. He was so smart, and so full of conviction and dedication that it’s these qualities, and I think the president spoke about it and at once a great politician. Beyond that, I think he was an incredible patriot for America."
