The senator

Almost every speaker Friday mentioned Graham, by name or by an oblique reference to "the senator."

"He's a traitor to his party and a traitor to all South Carolina people," said Robert Warren, an audience member who spoke during the meeting's open forum. "We can't allow him in there again."
