Lindsey Graham has died at the age of 71. The long-time senator from South Carolina reportedly died of an aortic dissection, a tear to the inner wall of the aorta.

America Now host Ben Swann talks with Mark Lynch, a former candidate for US Senate in South Carolina and the host of America First, Scottie Nell Hughes. Plus, how old is too old to serve?
