President Donald Trump<\/a> paid tribute to his longtime friend Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., on Monday, remembering him as a “great guy” whose passionate defense of Brett Kavanaugh during his Supreme Court confirmation fight helped change the course of history.<\/p>\n

“He was a great guy, and he was a friend,” the president recalled on “Fox & Friends<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

“He would call me all the time. He would just, I’d say, \u2018Stop calling me, Lindsey,\u2019” he laughed. “It was just… amazing.”<\/p>\n

Trump reflected on Graham, 71, as a “workaholic politician” whom “everybody” loved, regardless of their <\/strong>political leanings. He marveled at Graham’s ability to reach across the aisle and solve partisan problems.<\/p>\n

“If I had Democrat problems, he could solve them. He was a man of all different abilities, actually, and he was a nice man. He was a great guy…” he said.<\/p>\n

“He was a man who had a lot of fun. He had fun with politics, but he was really good at it. And then, when he got angry, like he did in the case of Brett Kavanaugh<\/a>, it was so impactful. I think it saved\u2026 Brett becoming a justice.”<\/p>\n

Trump’s comment referenced Graham’s fervent remarks before the Senate Judiciary Committee, blasting what he called the “unethical sham” hearing involving Brett Kavanaugh, who was later confirmed to the Supreme Court<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Since Graham’s passing, many have highlighted his passionate defense of Kavanaugh as one of the defining moments of his political career.<\/p>\n

“It was just a moment in time that the Democrats got so sick and so angry and so crazy… and Lindsey went on his tirade, and it was much more than a tirade. I think it was one of the great[est] 10 moments of Congress, if you want to know the truth,” Trump said.<\/p>\n

“And he saved Brett from a very, very unfair decision, or they would have turned a man down who was so qualified and such a good man,” he added.<\/p>\n

After focusing on Iran, the SAVE America Act<\/a> and other pressing issues, the president closed out the segment by returning to Graham’s legacy.<\/p>\n

“We lost a great man. He was a great man. He was a great politician, and he was a kind man,” he said.<\/p>\n

“And you know who really lost? Israel, Ukraine, a lot of countries that he really fought for. And they lost somebody who was very special. But the real loser was the United States of America. We lost a great person, a kind person, very smart person.”<\/p>\n

Graham’s legacy became central to the national conversation following his unexpected death late Saturday<\/a>. Tributes poured in from lawmakers and media personalities, with both allies and adversaries offering condolences and messages of support to Graham’s family.<\/p>\n

Graham’s death was initially reported to have followed a “brief and sudden illness.”<\/p>\n

A statement released by\u00a0Graham’s office<\/a>\u00a0on Sunday cited preliminary findings from the District of Columbia’s Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, identifying the cause of death as an aortic dissection due to arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease.<\/p>\n
