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!”
