“I know I am not in the right order, but since we have a gap here, I thought I would just jump in. I am honored to be here today for the Johnny Isakson memorial tribute part two. Being the lower person in the Senate on the totem pole here, I didn't get a chance to talk last week, but I did sit through the Senators' remarks, which I found very compelling. I have found Johnny Isakson to be very compelling. You know, there are times when you watch a movie or a TV show, and there are these special moments when two people meet, and there is one person who has that spark, who has that magic, and when they touch, when they embrace with a hug or a shake of the hands, all of a sudden, the other person realizes they are talking to somebody very special. That is Johnny Isakson. That moment is built around Johnny Isakson. From the first time I had the chance to meet him on January 3, 2018, I knew all of those things that are being said about his bipartisanship, about his friendliness, and about how he wants to work with people and how he cares about people were absolutely true. I could tell by the first handshake and the ``Welcome to the Senate, Doug.'' I will say that I think meeting me and having that spark was a real test of Senator Isakson more than anybody in this body because you have to understand that when we first met, it was about 5 days before his beloved Georgia Bulldogs were going to face the University of Alabama in the national championship game.…”
