COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — The Washington powerbroker Sen. Lindsey Graham returned home to South Carolina for the last time Wednesday for his funeral and burial.
Graham seemed to know every small-town mayor and police chief and the location of every Chick-fil-A across South Carolina.
Wednesday’s funeral was at First Baptist, the giant downtown church where his predecessor Republican Sen. Strom Thurmond was honored 23 years ago.
Graham’s body was first brought to the South Carolina Statehouse, where he started his political career in 1993, for a law enforcement ceremony and a flyover by military jets.
Graham’s death has created opportunities for change in South Carolina.
