South Carolina residents react to the death of Sen. Lindsey Graham 
Yeah, I got up and my husband told me, 
so I just immediately just started praying for him. 
It's all you can do. 
You know, there's nothing more we can, 
so. 
He's a human being and you just pray for them. 
I had been and kind of wasn't and then voted for him anyway. 
Um just because I really believed what he was doing for the people of Iran was a good thing. 
So, I voted for him for that. 
>> Well, I think he leaves behind a legacy. 
Uh you know, like any politician that's been in office as long as he has. I'm not a supporter of his policies, so you know, I don't I don't really care about that. 
But again, sad to see him die. 
>> A conservative, he doesn't mind uh speaking his mind in the Senate. 
His foreign policy is pretty much where I stand. 
Uh far as taxation, he's conservative. Overall values. 
Uh you know, he initially uh uh McClellan stood up to you uh Trump cuz Trump's made some bad decisions, but at the end of the day he supported the foreign policy as far as Iran and things of that nature, so. 
>> I hope we get the opportunity to vote for the person that's going to take his place and that we really find out who they are because you know, it's It's a hard decision when you know him. 
You know what you like about him, you know what you don't like about him and he's proved himself in a lot of ways over all the years. 
He's got a big track record, so not to have a track record it's going to be kind of hard to know who to vote for.
