Comedian and political commentator Bill Maher returned from his summer break with a tribute to late Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), calling him the “Trump whisperer.”

“Lindsey was kind of the Trump whisperer. You know, he really was the guy. They, the Senate, they said they’re going to miss him for that,” Maher said on Real Time with Bill Maher on Friday.
