A popular critic of the Iraq War who rose to fame and landed on Capitol Hill as a Senator, Bob Graham passed away, after being disabled by a stroke in May 2020.
In a statement on X, former Twitter, daughter Gwen Graham wrote: “We are deeply saddened to report the passing of a visionary leader, dedicated public servant, and even more importantly, a loving husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather.”
The 87-year-old was the two-time former governor of Florida and also served as the Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee after the deadly attacks of September 11, 2001, also known as 9/11.
Bob Graham was elected governor in 1978 and then re-elected in 1982.
The former governor served three terms in the US Senate and also bid for the Democrat nomination for the presidency in 2003, vehemently criticising the American invasion of Iraq based on flawed intelligence.
