Graham gets booed during Trump victory speech in South Carolina

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) was met with boos from the audience during former President Trump’s victory speech in South Carolina on Saturday night.

The senator, a longtime Trump ally, was met with the hostile reception after Trump introduced him on stage following his easy victory over rival Nikki Haley in the GOP presidential primary. 

Trump, in introducing the senator, said he calls Graham when he’s in “trouble on the left.” 

“He doesn’t do too much television,” Trump joked. “He happens to be a little bit further left than some of the people on this stage. But I always say when I’m in trouble on the left, I call up Lindsey Graham, and he straightens it out.” 

Graham then took to the mic, at which point he was booed loudly during his brief remarks.

“This is the most qualified man to be president [of the] United States,” Graham said. “And let it be said that South Carolina created the biggest political comeback in American history.” 

With his South Carolina victory confirmed, Trump has now beaten Haley three times in a row.
