Tributes, and Politics Too, at Lindsey Graham's Funeral in South Carolina. A gathering of South Carolina's political elite paid tribute to the late senator's career against a backdrop of a highly competitive race to replace him
It was a very beautiful and touching service. President Trump gave a very heartfelt tribute to Lindsey. His niece gave a beautiful tribute from the family to show what a wonderful family man Lindsey was. His hometown Pastor gave an excellent tribute and sermon to point all in attendance to know the Lord and Savior that Lindsey is now seeing face to face. Very thankful for Senator Grahams service to our country and to our great state of South Carolina!

Senator Graham saw that Trump was a bad person, explained why he should not be president, then bent the knee and supported him. He knew he was doing wrong, and did it anyway. Very similar to my Senator, which is you.
A moment like this reminds us that behind every public figure is a life of service, relationships, and memories. Sen. Lindsey Graham’s impact on American politics and the people who knew him will continue to be discussed for years. Moments of remembrance like this give everyone a chance to reflect on the legacy a person leaves behind.

Trump, Congress and world leaders to honor the late Sen. Lindsey Graham in Washington. World leaders, President Donald Trump and officials in Washington will pay their respects in funeral services for Republican Sen. Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham
In a day of tributes, Lindsey Graham is remembered as a tireless Washington mainstay. Lawmakers, foreign leaders and President Trump gathered Tuesday for the first of two days of funeral services for the late South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham
It’s powerful praise from Trump. Do you value this kind of sincere funeral tribute?
President Trump, you honored Him well. Respect, Regard to a Great American Statesman. His absence in the Senate is already profound, His voice may be silent, but His passion for America inspires.
Politics aside, being able to make people laugh and feel at home is a rare gift. Rest in respect, Sen. Graham
Watching leaders like Steve Daines praise the legacy of figures like Lindsey Graham is a stark reminder of how far today’s political establishment has drifted. Both chose unwavering loyalty to Donald Trump over the principles of our founding document. True conservatism is about the Constitution and the rule of law—and history will remember who traded that away for political survival.
What a great hero; RIP Senator Graham! You will be deeply missed❤️🇺🇸💙
Lindsey Graham's Funeral Was a Grand Exhibition of His Influence and His Servility. Official Washington came to a standstill this week to mark the passing of a South Carolina senator who won massive clout through his subservience to more powerful men

Lindsey Graham's Last Laugh. The senator's funeral featured foreign dignitaries, security lines, and a eulogy from the president whose approval he never stopped seeking
This is a memorial for a man who dedicated his life humanity! Respect please for him and our President!
Washington says goodbye to Sen. Lindsey Graham, a 'true American original'. A special ceremony at the Capitol and a funeral service at the National Cathedral were held Tuesday. A second service is planned for Wednesday in Graham's native South Carolina
Rarely reads from a script. He gave that eulogy of Senator Graham, extemporaneously. Not many people, no less politicians can do that or will even take the chance of misspeaking or forgetting what they want to say. Very bright guy, although I prefer Rubio for 2028, older, more experienced, calmer temperament.
What legacy do you believe Sen. Lindsey Graham leaves behind, and how should history remember his public service?
Remember Lindsey’s public words During a 2015 video interview with HuffPost, Graham grew visibly emotional when discussing his long-standing friendship with Joe Biden. [1, 2, 3] Graham stated: [1, 2, 3, 4] "He’s the nicest person I think I’ve ever met in politics. He is as good a man as God ever created." [1] Graham also famously added in the same clip: [1, 2] "If you can't admire Joe Biden as a person, then you got a problem. You need to do some self-evaluation. 'Cause what's not to like?" And also his public words on trump 2016, Senator Lindsey Graham famously stated, "If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed.......and we will deserve it". This was a reference to his belief that Donald Trump's presidential candidacy would be damaging to the Republican Party. n the day after the riot (January 7, 2021), Graham stated that Trump must accept his role in the violence, calling it a "self-inflicted wound". In February 2021, Graham argued that Trump bore responsibility for "pushing narratives about the election" that were untrue,
Let’s not rewrite history—Lindsey Graham’s legacy was defined by reckless, dangerous policies that harmed people both at home and abroad. For decades, he was one of the most aggressive hawks in Washington, constantly beating the drums of war and pushing for military interventions that destabilized entire regions of the world. At home, his policy agenda was just as destructive. He consistently championed slashing vital social safety nets, trying to dismantle healthcare access for vulnerable families, and fighting against basic civil rights protections. From escalating global conflicts to stripping resources away from regular people, his career was a masterclass in prioritizing personal political power over human well-being.
Mr.Graham did so much for this country! So happy they honored him this way!🇺🇸❤️
