Family Research Council President Tony Perkins issued a statement following the passing of U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) last night.

Perkins described Graham as a "true leader" who engaged in the essential, often unnoticed work that yields lasting value. He emphasized that Graham was more than just a vote, referring to him as a "voice for the defenseless" who utilized his influence to promote the cause of life.

"When others grew quiet, Lindsey stepped forward and gave his colleagues a way to speak—clearly, courageously, and compassionately about the dignity of every human life," Perkins stated.

In his remarks, Perkins also noted Graham's advocacy for persecuted Christians globally, highlighting the challenges faced by those who refuse to renounce their faith.
