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.”

Graham is one of the reasons the Republicans are known as the stupid party.

That has to be one of the most politically out of touch comments ever made. You need to be denying a lot of reality to think that...... why would that be?

Graham was McCain's poodle. Mc Cain was involved in Russian dossier even sending a staff member to England to pick it up. The Deep State has alot on Graham and his "all bark, no bite" behavior proves it again and again. There are too many Republicans that don't vote our values when it comes down to it.

Graham has diarrhea of the mouth. When is somebody going to tell him to shut up?

This was an extremely stupid comment on Graham's remarks considering all the videos and proof that has come about via social media. What's he hiding?

In the 60s it was the SDS and the Weathermen who either went to prison, graduate school and got jobs filling youngsters' heads full of mush (or both). Bill Ayers, Bernadine Dohrn and Kathy Boudin being prime examples. It is common practice for subversives to change their labels when the old ones get rightly stigmatized, witness how "liberal" has become "progressive." Antifa is old wine in new bottles - anarchists under a new name.

Graham only goes conservative when he realizes he may lose reelection.

Do you remember Bill Ayers? Might he have something to do with this resurgence?

It is not just Antifa. It is Black Lives Matter. And there are myriad groups - large, splinters of large, local gangs - involved in the mayhem that is being perpetrated against our country.

It dawned on me last night that these riots ae so well organized they were obviously pre-planned, though they most likely were intended to be carried out much closer to the election. The Floyd killing launched them earlier tan planned, which is a miscalculation on their part as it provided a Trump with the opportunity to displayough n crime leadership and Dementia Joe to show what a weak spined ninny he is.

Antifa wasn't around, but the Black Panthers, Simbionese Liberation Army, SDS, the Weathermen and a bunch of other violent, leftist, anachist, revolutionary groups much like antifa -thugs were around then.

Other posters have beat me to it. Those other domestic groups all existed and fomented violence in 1968 and beyond. I lived in Seattle at the time, (King county) and we were, If I remember correctly, about the bomb capital of the country. Mr. Lindsey is a moron.

Cell phones weren't around in 1968 either, but do you not think they have been used to coordinate and direct these protests across the country?
And, how quickly they all popped up too, huh?
Some organized group seems to have been waiting for something like what happened in Minneapolis to use as the excuse to unleash chaos and discord across the country.
I trust the TSA has the phone records, and the FBI has been combing the phones they found on the protesters for useful information.
It was just about 4 years ago, a group was actively working to undermine a presidential election, the peaceful transfer of power, and later an actual president's administration.
Read the House Intel committee transcripts which all clearly state there was ZERO Russian collusion, and that is from the same people who were claiming Trump was a Russian assets, Putin was pulling his strings, etc... None of them, under oath, came even close to finding Trump or anyone in his campaign, working with the Russians.

It requires very few Antifa activists to take advantage of protesters, inciting them when they're already on edge ready to explode.

There was no Craig's List or Twitter back in '68, either. But both of these have been used in 2020 in order to find paid rioters who are given special high powered ear phones and other useful paraphernalia to loot, burn and ruin our cities.

This is disturbing to say the least. Why not run a full blown investigation, Lindsay, and see where it leads? Adam Schiff led an investigation into Trump's collusion with the Russians when he KNEW it was a load of BS, but you know nothing of the kind when it comes to Antifa. You are going to be voted out, you dirty RINO.

How could Lindsay not know that constantly changing names is what the communists have been doing for a century now, part of that is setting up hundreds of front groups all run by the same people, in this case all funded by Soros, to give the impression that the opposition is widespread, also how could the press pretend to not know this?

The uni-party has a plan, we're not going to like it. They did nothing meaningful to stop the destruction inflicted during the covid-non crisis either. Almost all the governors orders were unconstitutional, republicans, for the most part did nothing about it.

Lindsey Graham is obviously insane. I wonder if South Carolina ever notices he says one thing when he is running in South Carolina and the opposite when he gets to Congress.

What a total imbecile. When an invading force attacks, the blame is not placed on the individual units that shot first, the blame is on the entire army and every combatant is fair game.

I think Graham is farther along than Biden. He makes zero sense lately. Watch Graham during his hearing on Wed. He'll excoriate the GOP for being to harsh on witnesses.

Makes you think Lindsey is bipolar. You knew it was too good to be true when he was acting like a Republican.
