President Donald Trump reflected Monday on the loss of Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), telling the hosts of \u201cFox & Friends\u201d that he never doubted Graham was there \u201cbecause he loved our country.\u201d<\/p>\n

But when it came time for Trump to reveal what he believed was Graham\u2019s most \u201clegendary\u201d moment, there was only one moment that made sense: Graham\u2019s passionate and unwavering defense of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh during his confirmation hearings.<\/p>\n

\u201c[Graham] got angry, like he did in the case of Brett Kavanaugh, it was so impactful,\u201d Trump said. \u201cI think it saved \u2026 Brett becoming a Justice. You know, it was just a moment in time when the Democrats got so sick and so angry and so crazy, and they were going to do something very bad.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd Lindsey went on his tirade, and \u2014 it was much more than a tirade \u2014 but I think it was one of the great 10 moments of Congress, if you want to know the truth,\u201d Trump continued. \u201cI said that was one of the 10 greatest moments in Congress, and I think you wouldn\u2019t find 10 other cases where somebody did what he was able to do there. He saved Brett from a very, very unfair decision \u2014 they would have turned a man down who was so qualified and such a good man.\u201d<\/p>\n

Graham, who was a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee at the time, used his time to defend Kavanaugh \u2014 but also to publicly chastise the Senate Democrats who\u2019d used underhanded tactics to destroy the man and to issue a warning to any Senate Republicans who might have been swayed by their efforts.<\/p>\n

After getting Kavanaugh to acknowledge that he and his family had been dragged through \u201chell\u201d when he should have been facing a job interview, Graham laid into Democrats: \u201cBoy, y\u2019all want power. God, I hope you never get it!\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump also reflected on his personal friendship with Graham in several interviews and social media posts, announcing on Sunday that all flags across the United States should be lowered to half-staff until Saturday in Graham\u2019s honor.<\/p>\n
