During Donald Trump’s South Carolina rally, a mention of Senator Lindsey Graham (R) resulted in boos from the audience.
“Another man who’s always there, he’s always – I’ll tell you what, when I need help [from] the left. He’s great. He’s great. And he’s my friend, too. Lindsey Graham, wherever you are, Lindsey. Thank you,” Trump said, immediately met with boos.
“Oh, no, no. He helps me on the left. We need help sometimes. Republicans shouldn’t need help from the left, but he helps me,” Trump said following the negative reaction from the audience.
Graham has been booed at other events as well.
During a Trump rally in Pickens, South Carolina, the senator was called a “traitor” and booed.

A crowd at a New Hampshire Trump event also booed after hearing Graham’s name.
Reporting from The Hill:
Graham has at times worked with Democrats in the Senate, including helping the Biden administration advance judicial nominees, drawing ire from other conservatives.
