Rep. Chris Smith (R-NJ) issued the below statement following the sudden passing of Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC):

                “Lindsey Graham was an indefatigable and courageous fighter for the right to life, human rights, liberty and freedom. He was articulate and persuasive and brought both incisive candor and humor to debate. He was a national treasure and will be deeply missed. My wife, Marie, and I offer our deepest condolences to his family.”
