Hi there,

The job of a journalist is to go to where the silence is — especially when those in power seek to silence voices that question or challenge power. That is what we do at Democracy Now! day in and day out, and we're able to do it because of financial support from people like you — people who trust and depend on our independent reporting. If you believe that freedom of speech and freedom of the press are essential to the functioning of a democratic society, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

SC Sen. Lindsey Graham Booed at Angry Town Hall

HeadlineMar 27, 2017

South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham faced an audience of angry constituents at a town hall meeting on Saturday. The audience repeatedly booed Senator Graham and at times chanted “Your last term!” This is Senator Graham trying to defend his decision to back Trump’s Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch.

Sen. Lindsey Graham: “We just finished the hearing this week. Judge Gorsuch was one of the finest people, I think, President Trump could have chosen.”

Audience: “Boo!”

Sen. Lindsey Graham: “I am going to enthusiastically support him.”

Audience: “Boo!”

Sen. Lindsey Graham: “And if the Democrats try to filibuster him—”

Audience: “Boo!”

Sen. Lindsey Graham: “—they will be making a huge mistake.”

Audience: “Boo!”
