Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) told MSNBC that Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) “screamed” at an officer for not doing “enough” to protect senators as the U.S. Capitol was being breached last week.
Said Brown: “I heard when the 75 senators were confined in a room with about 75 staff people, Lindsey Graham with his mask off started screaming at one of the officers — I think it was one of the captains — saying, ‘How come you didn’t protect us? It’s doing your job.'”
