Sen. Lindsey Graham was mobbed at Reagan National Airport in Arlington, Virginia, on Friday, video showed.
The heckling came two days after protesters breached the Capitol building, forcing members of Congress to evacuate. Videos surfaced of the senator being rushed away by police from individuals yelling at him.
“You work for us!” someone told Graham in one video posted by a Politico reporter. The gathering crowd began a large chant of “traitor!” Then, a woman dressed in a QAnon T-shirt that said “I [heart] Trump” on the front shouted, “One day, they will not be able to walk down the street! It is today!”

A crowd surrounded Graham as he walked through the airport, another video showed.
A woman can be heard shouting, “It’s gonna be like this forever, wherever you go, for the rest of your life.”
She added, “You son of a bitch” and “you better enjoy Gitmo, you f—— asshole.”
The caption to the video read, “Lindsey Graham just made the mistake walking by me and a mass of angry patriots at the airport in DC. 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.”

In the aftermath of rioting in the Congress building, one U.S. Capitol Police officer died due to an injury he sustained during the event. Another woman was shot, and three others died due to medical emergencies.
In a video that went viral on Tuesday, Sen. Mitt Romney was confronted by a Trump supporter at Salt Lake City International Airport.
One woman asked him, “Why aren’t you supporting President Trump?” She called him “a joke.”

During a speech on the Senate floor Wednesday after the rioting, Graham said, “Trump and I, we’ve had a hell of a journey. I hate it to end this way. Oh my God, I hate it. From my point of view, he’s been a consequential president. But today, first thing you’ll see. All I can say is, count me out, enough is enough.”
When asked by the Washington Examiner if the senator had a response to the confrontation, his office declined to comment on the basis that it would not discuss security matters.
