Lindsey Graham has died at 71

Whoa. Didn't see this one coming. I would have thought Trump or Mitch McConnell would pass first. He was a Republican senator from South Carolina who served 4 terms in the Senate. Initially when Trump ran for office Graham was critical and called him a racist among other things and said that if the GOP nominated him that the party would lose and would deserve it. Eventually he did a 180 and became a huge fan of Trump's. . . at least publicly. Graham's office said that he died Saturday night of a "brief and sudden illness" but there haven't been any other details released. Granted it is almost 4am on Sunday morning so I'm sure we will hear more about what happened in the coming days.
