“People in my state are sad that Lindsey Graham died. He helped South Carolina and America. He served in government and the military. He fought against bad leaders. Donald Trump said nice things about him. Some newspapers said he was good. I feel bad for his family. I want people to remember him. Trump is making our country strong. He called Putin bad. Graham helped pass laws against Putin because of Trump.”
