Though they've butted heads on everything from the Iraq War to Obamacare to gas prices, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) got emotional when talking about his friendship with Vice President Joe Biden.
In an interview with The Huffington Post published Friday, the South Carolina senator visibly choked up when talking about his relationship with Biden and the death of Biden's son Beau in June.
"He's the nicest person I think I've ever met in my whole life," Graham said.
"We don't agree on much, but I think he's been dealt a really gut blow," Graham said, referring to Beau's death.
Graham also expressed gratitude for Biden's speech at Graham's retirement party from the Air Force Reserve.
Biden and Graham's relationship has been well documented. In 2013, Biden told Graham that he would do whatever it took to get Graham reelected, despite the fact that they were from opposite parties.
Earlier this year, Biden teased Graham about his presidential bid, pretending not to swear in Graham during an official ceremony in the Senate.
Watch the interview below, via HuffPost:

Don’t think you have to worry. Graham’s candidacy is dead in the water. I doubt even the most liberal Republicans would vote for him.

"He's the nicest person I think I've ever met in my whole life," Graham said. Wow! That is so . . . sweet.

Joe Biden has been complicit in the destruction of this country.
People here in DE revere him.
That is because, up close and personal, Joe is very avuncular and a lot of fun.
But make no mistake about it, since Judge Bork in 1987, Joe Biden has been a prime mover in the fascism taking over America.
A true wolf in sheep’s clothing.
In addition to being a complete and utter moron.

It does appear our elected officials have lost their gonads doesn’t it.
If Republicans fought just half as hard as the dems do I would be happy.

I had a really nice boyfriend. He was so nice! I chose carefully, and he was everything I wanted in a man. NICE!!!! We were going to get married. We'd picked the rings, were finding a house, picking where we'd go on our honeymoon.
I had to have surgery and 2 hours after I came out of recovery, he called me to break up with me. "Nice" isn't all it's cracked up to be. !!!!
Biden is like this. Oh he's jovial and maybe "nice" but he's a dishonest jackass. ewwww.
