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.

What an idiot.
Perp walk this POS off of capital hill and out of DC! He’s as dangerous to this nation as any democrat up there!
How about this ...arrest anyone connected to the riots (including enablers) and put them in prison for life. You can call them whatever you want - just punish them severely.
Amazing graphic - I was watching the Seattle coverage on Fox last night, peaceful at first but someone started something then the police fired flash bangs and tear gas. I saw many of these in the crowd including “Frontliners,” “Flag Bearer,” “Medics,” “Barricader,” “Cop watch,” “Range Soldiers,” and likely several others. Watching this and knowing what to look for shows how well organized these “protests” really are and how the name is just a cover for more criminal activities.
Then he is accusing black people of instigating and carrying out all the rioting.
Racist!!!!
Military intel is better than you Lindsey!
Pandering phony.
He’s about as helpful as Trey Gowdy was, all talk and empty actions.
Wait it all out until your next election.
Let’s forget all about Comey, Brennan, Clapper, et.al. Move along now. That was five problems ago that have not been solved. Now we have to not solve another problem.
If you're a Repuke, it's what you do.
He is a Trump hater in hiding...

Sounds like you are off on another ineffectual limp-wristed set of hearing designed to get your ugly mug in front of a camera so you can pontificate about things.
From link
“Mr. Graham promised to review the use of force by police, saying hearings could come as early as June 16.”
Lindsey has a secret that only Hillary knows about. He’ll do as he’s told.
There were thousands of demonstrators in Tampa, FL.
Devastated shopkeepers need to unleash the lawyers on the Democratic fundraising network.
Rubio said the Violence was from the Right.
**************
None of this RINO crap from the usual suspects is surprising. You can always count on the GOP to cave in and appease.
We are in desperate need of a new party that actually stands for something. The GOP is never, ever going to be that party.
First Little Marco, then Linda...Mittens, you’re late!
‘
If this upsets you, then Rubio blaming the Violence on the Right should outrage you.

"Back off Antifa".
Terrorist designation leads to financiers.

This is someone used to LOSING and conditioned to fear the ‘burdens and implications’ of winning. Sometimes The Turtle can also sound this way.
A conditioned response, a fatalistic (ie LOSER) point of view;
“Well, we were gonna lose anyway, so why make any noise about it now? At least we go down with our dignity intact!!’
Lindsey Graham is a use ****ing jackass, much like everyone else in the GOP not named Trump.
