A crowd of mostly high school students booed when Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) mentioned his colleague Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) during a speech on Tuesday night.
"The reason we didn't repeal [ObamaCare] is because we have six or seven Republican senators who got cold feet," Paul said at the High School Leadership Summit hosted by conservative group Turning Point USA (TPUSA).
"Let's just say, John McCain and a few others," Paul added, drawing boos from the audience.

On Tuesday, the high school crowd also interrupted Paul's TPUSA speech with Trump's signature campaign rally chant "lock her up," which refers to jailing former Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton.
"So, when the people say, 'Oh, what about the Republicans and Russians,' the only person we know who paid the Russians was Hillary Clinton," Paul said.
The crowd chanted "lock her up" until Paul resumed speaking.
