Cheyenne, WY – Senator Cynthia Lummis (R-WY) today released the following statement on the death of Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC):
”I am shocked and deeply saddened by the sudden death of my friend, Senator Lindsey Graham,” said Lummis. “Lindsey was a tireless voice for South Carolina and an unwavering champion of a strong America and our allies. My prayers are with his family, especially his niece, with whom he spoke by phone from the cloakroom so frequently that we all felt we knew her, and with his constituents. I also offer my condolences to President Trump, whose working relationship with Lindsey was by far the closest of all US Senators. Lindsey was the President’s loyal friend and ally, and Lindsey’s wit, humor and honesty with the President distinguished him from the rest of us.
“My heart is very heavy today, because I, too, enjoyed a wonderful friendship with Lindsey and will miss him terribly, but I’m so grateful for the honor of knowing him and serving in the US Senate with him.”
