The crowd booed US Senator Lindsey Graham and drowned out his remarks as he rallied for Donald Trump in downtown Pickens, South Carolina.



Graham, from nearby Oconee County, said he was going to help Trump win the 2024 general election and even pointed out that he was part of the Senate Judiciary Committee that helped bolster the Supreme Court’s conservative sheen.

Despite that, the crowd remained unmoved and the booing continued for at least three minutes.



Easley resident Michael Propes, 60, said Graham was trying to side with Trump to give his own political career a new lease of life.
“I voted for him years ago, I voted for him last year, but we need to vote him out," Propes said.


Other Trump supporters joined and echoed Propes.
William Billew, 74, was tired of Graham “wishy-washiness."


“(Graham) doesn’t need to use Trump to get where he needs to go again,” Billew said.


He felt the South Carolina Senator sided with Democrats when it suited him and pedestalized Trump when it mattered. This made him an unreliable lawmaker, Billew said.
