Play Stupid Games, Win Stupid Prizes: Sen. Lindsey Graham Mobbed and Called 'Traitor' by Trump Supporters at Airport
Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) was mobbed by a group of Trump supporters and called a “traitor” while leaving an airport in Washington, D.C. I’d say I’d hate to see it, but I don’t like lying to you nice folks. As Graham was exiting the terminal on Friday he was met by a mob of white…
