Sen. Lindsey Graham raises doubts about Antifa's role in riots, looting (plans hearings on police 'use of force')
Washington Times ^ | June 2, 2020 | Jeff Mordock

Sen. Lindsey Graham on Tuesday questioned how much blame should be directed at Antifa for the violent protests and looting in the wake of George Floyd’s death in police custody.

Mr. Graham, who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee, said Antifa has played “a part” in the civil unrest. But the South Carolina Republican noted that rioting and looting happened during protests long before the militant anti-fascist group became a movement.

“We will try to find out how organized this violence is,” Mr. Graham said. “But I am old enough to remember 1968, and Antifa was not around in 1968, that I know of.”

“What happens when lawlessness occurs and people get mad and angry and someone breaks a window, other people follow in kind,” he said.

We can always count on the RINO brigade to undercut what is good and just.

They could just keep silent, but instead are compelled to undermine their own supposed colleagues.

Thanks South Carolina. Thanks in advance, Utah.

Yeah, we all know BLM was around before “Antifa” declared its current name.

But “Antifa” is an amorphous little snake who dates way way back through the WTO protests and beyond into the darkest shadows of the 70’s, 60’s, 30’s, and beyond. Back even to Leon Czolgosz.

Either way, banning Antifa is a good move now. Mobilize military signals intelligence units to the riots (this month or next time), and develop absolute proof of Antifa (i.e., white rich kid) involvement. Release the proof. Swoop in and make arrests in their parents’ basements. And that’s all the military help you really need, unless things get truly out of control somewhere.

It is hard to tell from this article just where Graham is going with this.

The article makes him look weak; which in the past he certainly has been.

My guess is he would like to get astride the fence.

Be nice to Linda. She will go on Hannity tonight and talk all tough about the hearings she will have on the subject.

This time she REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY means it, too.

Yeah its time to get rid of Lindsay Graham - he is a terrible human being and his politics suck donkey.

Now to do it in such a way to protect the seat what useless position would he qualified for??? I know!

He has all the makings of an Attorney General he just talks a lot and does nothing but we are supposed to trust him, Barring a Sessions, we take a Graham.
