On Saturday, news outlet, The Hill, reported South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham sent food from Chick-Fil-A chain to counter protesters against pro-Palestinian protesters.
Pi Kappa Phi fraternity members had stopped an American Flag from touching the ground at a Tuesday protest on the campus of UNC.
Graham posted on X saying “The actions of these young men make me hopeful for the next generation’s love for our country,” ... as a thank you for protecting Old Glory, @ChickfilA is on the way... compliments of Team Graham!”
After a video of Tuesday's events went viral, a GoFundMe Page called “UNC Frat Bros Defended their Flag. Throw ‘em a Rager,” was created and has raised more than half a million dollars. Country music artist John Rich got wind and told News Nation, he's offering a free concert when that "rager" comes to fruition.
Meanwhile, over the weekend, students and community members with Upstate Voices for Palestine, gathered on Clemson's campus to protest the war in Gaza. University Police and Officials stationed near Sikes Hall, Saturday, monitored the days' events.
The group's spokesperson, graduating senior Abigail Friedman, is seeking the University to disclose and divest of any investment with Israel.
