WASHINGTON \u2014 President Trump claimed Monday that the late Sen. Lindsey Graham had just \u201cone bad moment\u201d \u2014 when the South Carolina Republican denounced the 45th president on the Senate floor in the aftermath of the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe had one bad moment, and that was on the Jan. 6 thing when he stood up [and said], \u2018All right, now I\u2019ve had it. That\u2019s it. I can\u2019t do it anymore,’\u201d Trump told \u201cFox & Friends\u201d during a phone interview.<\/p>\n

\u201cThen he called me like about 40 minutes later, and he said, \u2018Did I really say that? I can\u2019t believe it.\u2019 And he took it back.\u201d<\/p>\n

Graham, 71, who died suddenly Saturday night from an apparent aortic dissection due to cardiovascular disease, appeared to turn his back on Trump after his supporters stormed the Capitol and delayed the official count of Joe Biden\u2019s 2020 Electoral College victory.<\/p>\n

\u201cTrump and I, we\u2019ve had a hell of a journey. I hate it to end this way. Oh my God, I hate it. From my point of view, he\u2019s been a consequential president,\u201d Graham said after order was restored. \u201cAll I can say is count me out. Enough is enough.\u201d<\/p>\n

By May of that year, however, Graham was publicly back in the future president\u2019s corner, telling reporters: \u201cCan [Republicans] move forward without President Trump? The answer is no. I\u2019ve determined we can\u2019t grow without him.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n<\/div>\n

Graham had unsuccessfully sought the 2016 Republican presidential nomination, warning at one point that if the GOP nominated Trump, \u201cwe will get destroyed \u2026 and we will deserve it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce that ended, he\u2019d left the race, and once that ended, I became really good friends with him,\u201d Trump reflected on his friendship with Graham, while adding that his remarks after the Capitol riot meant \u201cI give him a 99 instead of a 100.\u201d<\/p>\n
