1:45Now PlayingVice President JD Vance credited the late Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) with securing then-Judge Brett Kavanaugh's confirmation to the Supreme Court as he remembered his former colleague at a memorial service in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda.
"What he saw happening to Kavanaugh was not a policy disagreement, it was character assassination," the vice president said of the contentious confirmation fight, which was nearly derailed by an allegation of sexual assault.
"Lindsey got as fiery and as passionate as I have ever seen a human being get during a judicial confirmation, and I believe that he saved that nomination."
The vice president noted Sen. Graham's remarks at the hearing went "viral" but that he didn't do it for the "social media clicks."
"He did it to do something at the very highest part of the Senate, which was to persuade his colleagues — and persuade his colleagues he did," he said. "Lindsey didn't just earn a lot of headlines. He actually persuaded people. And that maybe is how I will choose most to remember my friend Lindsey Graham."
