Jeering supporters of President Trump accosted Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina on Friday at Ronald Reagan National Airport in Washington, angrily denouncing the Republican as a “traitor” and a “liar” for voting to formalize President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr.’s victory. Traitor!” one woman could be heard yelling in a pair of videos shared with The New York Times. “You said you had his back and you didn’t.”“Get out of here,” another woman shouted at Mr. Graham, who was once considered Mr. Trump’s closest ally in the Senate. “You don’t represent America.”The tense scene vivified the continuing crisis unfolding in the Republican Party, as lawmakers, their voters and the nation reel from an insurrection by Mr. Trump’s supporters that overtook the Capitol this week while Congress was meeting to count the electoral votes.
