President Donald Trump had a striking message for a protester who interrupted his South Carolina rally Friday night: Mom isn’t going to be happy.
A protester stood up and interrupted Trump at approximately 7:28 p.m., before being escorted from the Myrtle Beach Convention Center by police and convention center staff, according to the White House pool report.
As the protester was still being escorted out, Trump briefly stopped his remarks and turned to the commotion.

“That’s all right. That person’s going home to mom. Gonna get scolded because mom is voting for us. You know, mom is voting for us,” Trump said before quickly continuing his speech.
Trump was in Myrtle Beach to campaign for Darline Graham ahead of Tuesday’s South Carolina Senate runoff, urging his supporters to turn out even though his own name won’t be on the ballot.
“If Trump isn’t actually on the ballot,” Trump said while discussing Republican turnout, before asking supporters to “pretend, please, that I’m on the ballot.”
“Just come and vote. It’s so important,” Trump said. “So just say that I’m on the ballot one more time. You got to say it, and you got to come out and vote.”

Trump said he personally encouraged Graham to run and laid out the case for sending her to Washington.
“With your support, Darline will defend common sense in our nation’s capital,” Trump said. “She’ll fight for lower taxes, bigger paychecks, no amnesty for illegal aliens. And she’ll always protect your Second Amendment, the right to keep and bear arms.”

Trump also said Graham would be a strong advocate for the armed forces.
“But as much as anybody in this Senate and maybe more, Darline will support our military,” Trump said.
Graham later joined Trump onstage, thanking him for his endorsement and his friendship with her late senator brother, Lindsey.

“Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you for your endorsement. It has meant the world to me,” Graham said. “Thank you for your support. Thank you for coming to South Carolina. This is MAGA country, right?”
