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 Floyds 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.

That’s right. Same bunch, different names.
Does this sorry POS have a primary opponent? If not, why not? My parrot would win against him in a debate.
SHUT UP, MISS LINDSEY!!
Think I finally agree. Yes Lindsley rioting and looting have happened before Antifa existed, BUT in one place, one city.NOT in fifteen cities on the same nights. AND I do not recall large numbers of whites wearing protective gear in the 92 LA riots, the 67 Detroit and Newark riots. And in 67 Newark had five nights of rioting while NYC ten miles east had zero rioting. If Lindsley wants to investigate police let him subpoena the NYPD’s intel that Deputy Comm John Miller mentioned yesterday showing that the riots and looting are directed and are not spontaneous.
It appears that AntiFA prepositions weapons of destruction all around the area where they want to use them. I have seen pictures of the pallets of bricks where theres is no construction and read about pre-planted water bottles filled with gasoline, rocks, pipes, etc left in parked cars, under bushes etc.
Linda is up for re-election and he is playing politics. I won’t expect anything positive for conservatives out of his pandering.
Graham to slow minded to get the fact that militant anti-fascist groups became a movement and keep growing unless they are stopped.
Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, please go to the white phones for your messages of how to blame Trump!
Get off your lazy ass Linda and smell the tear gas.
Great Catch!!!
You win the Internet for the week
Yeh Lindsay you moron in 1968 it was SDS and Black Panthers. Now its ANTIFA and Black Lives Matter. Same deal different day.
Sorry but theres no room left in the committee on Shoveling Bull Crap, as hes entered it himself, after assuring Trump hes got his backs!
HAHA!
“What they have on Graham must be so bad I can only surmise that it involves young boys.”
It’s goats, I’m sure of it.
Like that has ever helped in my lifetime.
It's almost time for veterans of all skin pigmentation to assert ourselves and take back our country, IMO.
Only three people running against Lindsey. One is a transplant from up North. That leaves Duke Buckner and Michael LaPierre.
Duke just became a Republican because of President Trump and 2nd Amendment supporter. He has some local government experience as a Democrat. LaPieree is from the Upstate and appears to be addressing more issues.
I will vote LaPieree. If there is a run off it will be between Lindsey and LaPieree or Duke. In November if Lindsey is still there I will have to vote for him.
Shes back and worse than ever.
Linda Lou.
Marcos sister.
Will this be before or after the hearings on the Russian collusion crap and the Flynn trial that he promised some weeks ago?
Thanks for the background. Is there any real hope of getting to a runoff?
