If you are America's enemies, if you seek to do harm to our armed services, if you seek to endanger the lives of Americans, Lindsey spent every waking moment thinking about how to stop you and how to keep America safe. This bill is a direct manifestation of [Lindsey Graham's efforts] of standing up to Russia and Vladimir Putin. Lindsey is irreplaceable. I was asked by a reporter, who will fill his shoes. Nobody, mostly because they're too small. But nobody will fill the role that Lindsey Graham played in this Senate. (02:13–02:21)
