Sen. Lindsey Graham Loudly Booed During Trump Speech In His Home State

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-South Carolina) was loudly booed on Saturday during former President Donald Trump‘s speech in South Carolina.

During Trump’s victory speech over Nikki Haley, the former president introduced longtime ally Graham to the stage. Trump referred to Graham as “a little bit further left than some people on this stage.”

At Graham’s appearance, a few audience members cheered, but the majority booed. Trump immediately tried to calm the situation.

“No, no!” he said. “Remember, I love him, he’s a good man. Come up here Lindsey.”

Graham spoke briefly before Trump returned to the microphone.

Graham was previously reported to have “thrown Trump under the bus” in court testimony for the Georgie election fraud case.

In the 2016 presidential campaign, Trump famously gave out Graham’s cellphone number to the general public after the senator criticized him. Graham recorded a video of himself destroying the phone after being doxed.

Ironically, Saturday Night Live parodied Graham’s and other GOP senators’ subservience to Trump in the cold open the same night as the rally.
