Lindsey Graham hounded by Trump supporters at D.C. airport: 'You know it was rigged!'



Sen. Lindsey Graham was hounded by a group of Trump supporters at an airport outside Washington Friday, according to video posted on Twitter by Trump supporting-actress Mindy Robinson.

Lindsey Graham just made the mistake walking by me and a mass of angry patriots at the airport in DC.,” Ms. Robinson tweeted from her verified account Friday afternoon.

“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,” she wrote.

In the video, Mr. Graham is seen surrounded by officers as he walks through an airport terminal.

“You traitor!” the woman recording the video screams. “Lindsey Graham you are a traitor to the country. You know it was rigged!

“It’s going to be like this forever, wherever you go for the rest of your life,” she said in the video. “Audit the vote, piece of s–t!” 

Mr. Graham appeared unfazed as he stared down at his phone and continued walking.

According to another video posted by Politico reporter Daniel Lippman, apparently taken before Ms. Robinson’s, shows the protesters following Mr. Graham and chanting, “Traitor.”

“One day, they will not be able to walk down the street! It is today!” a woman yells in the video.

The footage comes two days after a mob of Trump supporters who falsely claim the president won reelection against President-elect Joseph R. Biden stormed the Capitol building and temporarily halted a joint session of Congress to certify the Electoral College votes Wednesday afternoon.

The activists are angry at Republicans they deem disloyal to the president. On Tuesday, Sen. Mitt Romney was heckled by a group of Trump supporters and called a “traitor” in a Salt Lake City airport.
