Senator Richard Lugar, who helped in securing Soviet arsenal, dies at 87

RIP. A Republican from an era when the word “Republican” wasn’t an unspeakable obscenity.

A true statesman - someone who worked across the aisle to make America and the world a better place. One of the very few left that put knowledge and expertise ahead of partisanship theater.

Barack Obama: Dick always stuck to the facts. He understood the intricacies of America’s power and the way words uttered in Washington echo around the globe. But perhaps most importantly, he exhibited the truth that common courtesy can speak across cultures.

Vice President Mike Pence: Senator Lugar’s contributions to the life of our nation are countless. Richard Lugar was a leader not only in the Senate but also on the world stage, where he worked tirelessly to bring pressure to end apartheid in South Africa and enforce treaties that destroyed Soviet weapons of mass destruction.

Sen. Mike Braun (R-Ind.): Senator Richard Lugar is a towering figure in Hoosier history and one of the greatest statesmen ever to serve in the U.S. Senate. As our longest serving Senator, he worked tirelessly with leaders across the globe to better the state and the country he loved. 

President Donald J. Trump: Will be interviewed by @MariaBartiromo on @FoxNews at 10:00 AM. Talking about the Southern Border and how the Dems MUST act fast to change our pathetic immigration laws. Will be tough, watch!
