Lindsey Graham.
Despite describing Graham as a friend, the audience's negative reaction was a clear indication of their disapproval. This is not the first time Graham has faced such a response in his home state. Earlier this year, at another Trump rally in South Carolina, the senator was met with boos when he appeared at the podium before Trump's speech. The negative sentiment towards Graham was further evident when Trump mentioned him during the same event, resulting in more boos from the audience.
Graham, who has served as a senator since 2003 and whose current term ends in 2027, took to Twitter to express his support for Trump's visit to South Carolina. However, even his tweet was met with criticism. One person responded, "You got booed relentlessly!! We don't understand why Trump still supports you because the majority of us can't stand you... you're not American first, you're Ukraine first." Another commenter suggested that Trump would be wise to distance himself from Graham, calling him a RINO (Republican In Name Only).

Despite the backlash, Graham has remained steadfast in his belief that it is crucial for the United States to continue providing assistance to Ukraine's military. He argues that those who advocate for ending U.S. aid to Ukraine are only paving the way for future conflicts and potentially more loss of life in Europe and even Taiwan. Graham's stance on this issue has been met with both support and criticism, highlighting the ongoing divisions within the Republican Party.
