Lindsey Graham’s Sister Booed by Crowd in Embarrassing Debate Flop

C-SPAN Darline Graham, sister of the late Sen.

Lindsey Graham, was booed by her hometown crowd during an embarrassing televised debate.

The 62-year-old Republican is vying to replace her brother full-time as U.S. senator for South Carolina with the backing of his friend and ally, President Donald Trump.

Despite the Trump sign-off, neither Graham nor the more experienced Rep.

Ralph Norman received enough votes to avoid a primary runoff on Aug.

25.

Graham was appointed by Gov.

Henry McMaster, at Trump’s urging, to serve out her brother’s term after his shock death in July at age 71.

During the debate in Newberry on Tuesday, Graham was asked by co-moderator Greta Van Susteren whether Taiwan and the South China Sea were national security issues for the United States.

After initially asking Van Susteren to repeat the question, Graham admitted, “I’m just going to be honest here...

I’m not that informed on national security.” The admission saw the audience boo Graham, who paused briefly, then added, “But I do support the military,” mentioning her late brother’s 33-year tenure in the U.S.

Air Force and her father’s time in the U.S.

Army.

“I’m not a polished politician up here.
