Ben Domenech: ‘The Death of Lindsey Graham Comes as a Shock,’ He Was Relentless and Always Moving at Rapid Speed

RUSH EXCERPT:
DOMENECH: "The death of Lindsey Graham comes as a shock to a lot of us who viewed him as being somebody who was relentless and was always moving at rapid speed. I think it was one of the ways that he emulated my father in law and really tried to do everything that he could with the time that he had. He has an incredible life story, I’m a little more familiar with it because I’m another son of low country in South Carolina and we have an appreciation for people who strive through the young life experience that he had and made good. I was thinking this morning, I woke up to feed our 6-month-old at three in the morning and I don’t always check my phone but this time I did and it was a shock to me. I woke up my wife and I told her and the thing I was thinking about the most was I used to sit at the end of a table in Arizona with John McCain and Joe Lieberman and Lindsey and we would argue about the world and I would disagree with Lindsey a lot. But he was still friendly about it and he was still charming and funny. And it’s one of these things that is very much a touching memory to me because these are people who care deeply about this country and care deeply about its role in the world and we live in an era where politics is ephemeral. Where people basically come into it as influencers. They don’t try to actually make changes in the world. Lindsey tried to do that and worked his entire life to do it. We have to appreciate it and respect it and honor him for the kind of senator he was. We are not going to see his like again."
