( The Hill ) — Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said he is sending Chick-fil-A to counter protesters against pro-Palestinian protesters at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC) Saturday.
Members of the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity stopped an American flag from touching the ground at a Tuesday protest on campus at UNC. The members could be seen in viral videos holding up the flag as activists threw things at them, resulting in a GoFundMe for the fraternity brothers called “UNC Frat Bros Defended their Flag. Throw ‘em a Rager,” which now has raised more than $500,000.
Country music artist John Rich said Thursday he is willing to play at the “rager” for the fraternity members.
“I reached out and I said, ‘Boys, I sure am proud of you. When you have that big rager you guys are talking about on GoFundMe, I’d like to show up and play you a free concert,’” Rich said on NewsNation’s “On Balance” with host Leland Vittert. “And they hit back, and I think we’re gonna try to make that happen.”
