- President Donald Trump honored Sen. Lindsey Graham at his funeral Tuesday and recounted an infamous moment in 2015 that led the two men to become friends.
- Trump and Graham were locked in a bitter feud in July of that year. After Graham called Trump a “jacka**,” Trump got on stage for a speech and read out Graham’s cell phone number.
- "So naturally, I did something that I shouldn't have done. I shared his personal cell phone number with the millions of people that happened to be watching that particular day as I made a speech,” Trump said Tuesday at Graham’s service in Washington, D.C.
- “And I remember the number: 202-228-0292, if anybody wants to give it a shot. His phone exploded," Trump continued. "But it was Lindsey who had the last laugh, because while I blew up his phone for one day, we became great friends, and Lindsey did not stop calling me for the next 10 years. It was not easy."
- Vice President JD Vance also spoke at the service for Graham and the late senator will be remembered at a separate service in South Carolina on Wednesday.
