    Sen. Lindsey Graham Fights Back at Rowdy Town Hall: ‘Bring It On’ – Mar 25 2017

    South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham defended his conservative values and voting record at a raucous town hall on Saturday, hitting back at what he described as the “double standard” among his more liberal-minded constituents.

    Speaking to an auditorium of largely Democratic voters in Columbia, the three-term Republican senator had to shout at times to be heard over the crowd. But he told voters that their boos and anger were not persuading him to change his positions

    “All of you want [Donald] Trump to be denied what comes with being president — not all of you, but some of you — and you want to overturn the election,” Graham shouted over jeers.

    Later, as constituents chanted “your last term,” Graham fired back.

    “Good! Bring it on — we’re going to have an election in 2020,” he said, referring to when his seat is up. “Here’s what I’m going to do: Between now and 2020, I’m not (gonna) worry about losing my job. I’m not worried about you not voting for me. You know what I am worried about? Our country.”
