WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, U.S. Senator Thom Tillis (R-NC) issued the following statement following the passing of North Carolina’s Reverend Billy Graham:
“Reverend Billy Graham, a proud North Carolinian, was truly America’s Pastor and spiritual compass. He dedicated his life to preaching the Gospel and inspired millions of people in America and across the globe. He preached in favor of inclusiveness and viewed diversity in our society as a strength. His counsel was sought by many Presidents – Republicans and Democrats alike – in no small part because of his unshakable moral clarity and convictions.
“Reverend Graham’s life’s work and devotion to faith bettered our country and the world. I join my fellow citizens in celebrating a great and historic man, and North Carolina’s favorite son.”
