Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) has long stood by President Trump as one of his strongest congressional allies. But the violent riot by several hundred Trump supporters Wednesday at the Capitol was too much for him.
The South Carolina senator declined to indulge the president’s wishes to stymie President-elect Joe Biden’s electors on Wednesday based on unsubstantiated allegations of systemic voter fraud, which have failed scores of times to overturn the presidential election results.
For a crowd of Trump supporters coming home from the Stop the Steal rally at Reagan National Airport, Graham’s decision was enough to warrant calling him a “traitor.”

Mediaite reports:
Another video was posted by Trump supporter Mindy Robinson on Twitter. “You know it was rigged!” she can be heard shouting at the senator.
Lindsey Graham just made the mistake walking by me and a mass of angry patriots at the airport in DC.
All America wants is for you to AUDIT OUR VOTE and purge this election of this massive corruption…and you won’t do it. We’re not letting this “slide” so expect more of this. pic.twitter.com/pbemr2Gcr9

Following Wednesday’s riot that led to the deaths of five Americans, including one Trump supporter who was shot and another who was reportedly trampled to death, Graham had a police escort through the terminal.
After law enforcement regained control of the Capitol Wednesday evening, Graham said this:
“Trump and I, we’ve had a hell of a journey. I hated it being this way. Oh, my god, I hate it,” Graham added. “From my point of view, he’s been a consequential president. But today, first thing you’ll see, all I can say is count me out, enough is enough.”
The poor trator. I’d vote him out if the vote wasn’t fixed for traitors
Indeed we will count him out!! He begs me almost daily for money!
I will never donate another dime to the Republican Party!!
dear GOD, please help this poor GOP…why? because they’re NOT aggressive enough..!
Fairies Are timid little creatures.
Fuucker has always been a RINO— and always will be!!
We can only hope the Republic party grows a spine and learns to stand up for it’s self and stops allowing RINOS.
You and me both! Time for NEW BLOOD in the GOP party. The OLD party has got to go – they are like possums rolling over and playing dead when things get ‘heated’! We need aggressive fighters to counter the activist, liberal, progressives if we want our country to survive as a Constitutional Republic!
I get emails and texts from him and McConnell….I respond to those emails with a few choice words…and they suddenly stopped.
Iam with you! If the cowards had stood with Trump and demanded a recount maybe America could have been saved. I stand with Trump!!
so you gonna join the enemy and give up your guns and your freedom without a fight?
What about the babies being murdered on a daily basis, and child trafficking and money Laundering and China?
