Congressman CALLS OUT The DEMOCRATS Over TRUMP Tax Cuts

08/28/2026

In deep-red South Carolina, a Republican crowd booed Donald Trump last night. The Republican onstage was defending him.

Ralph Norman lost Tuesday's Senate runoff to Darline Graham. Graham was appointed to the seat last month after her brother, Senator Lindsey Graham, died. Trump did not just endorse her. He rallied for her in Myrtle Beach and posted repeatedly telling South Carolinians how to vote. Norman says an outside super PAC spent about $8 million against him. It worked. Graham won 52.5 to 47.5.

Then Norman stood up in a room in Rock Hill and gave a concession speech he hadn't planned to write.

He got to the part about the president. "You know the president got involved. He has that right. That's his prerogative."

The room booed.

Not at Norman. At Trump. In Rock Hill, South Carolina, in a room full of Republicans, on a night when a Trump-endorsed candidate had just won.

Norman tried to talk them down. "Y'all, his policies are good," he told his own supporters, before adding: "I never understood why he got in this race."

Consider who these people are. Norman is a Freedom Caucus Republican who texted Mark Meadows in January 2021 that invoking martial law was the last hope of keeping Trump in office. These are Republican primary voters in one of the reddest states in the country.

Not swing voters. The base. And they have started making noise when a president they were told to love picks their congressman's opponent and wins.

Trump posted his win at 8:44: "Darline Graham Wins! Endorsed by President Trump."
He got his win. In Rock Hill, the people who put him in office were booing his name, and the man who lost was the one telling them to stop.

Socialism stops at the South Carolina state line.

We will not let the radical left turn our state into their next experiment.
