A longtime political ally of John McCain’s is expressing remorse over the late senator’s contentious relationship with President Trump.

South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham says he wishes McCain had gotten to know Trump better, suggesting they would have eventually gotten along. When told of Graham’s comments, Cindy McCain told TMZ her husband was confident in his feelings.

“I know he’s at peace for what he did and for how he felt, you know, and I’m just, I wish he were still here, that’s what I would like. That’s not the case,” Cindy McCain said.

Graham also told the Associated Press that if McCain could forgive his captors in Vietnam, he could have forgiven Trump.
