Chuck Schumer: ‘My Prayers and Those of My Family Are with Senator Graham‘s Family, Staff, and Friends’

EXCERPT:

SCHUMER: “Well, Mr. President, my prayers and those of my family are with Senator Graham’s family, staff, and friends after his sudden, sudden passing yesterday. We see the white roses on his desk, and we think of Lindsey. Senator Graham devoted much of his life to public service, first in the military, then in Congress, where he represented South Carolina for more than three decades. To the very end, Senator Graham’s life was defined by public service. He was an important member of this institution and a crucial voice for his constituents in South Carolina. For all of our many and vehement disagreements, Senator Graham and I still found ways to work together. One of the first things we did together is travel to China. We both believed that China was manipulating its currency, hurting American exports, hurting American jobs, and together we hammered away at that issue.“
