Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) claimed to send Chick-fil-A to a fraternity at University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill “as a thank you” for countering protests against the American flag.

A group of UNC Pi Kappa Phi members prevented an American flag on campus from touching the ground or being desecrated by pro-Palestinian protesters by surrounding the flag pole and holding it up. Graham responded to their actions in a video on X Saturday.

“I’m so proud of the courageous young men at UNC that protected our flag and stood up for America against the pro-Hamas protesters on their campus,” Graham captioned the video. “The actions of these young men make me hopeful for the next generation’s love for our country. Fellas, as a thank you for protecting Old Glory, Chick-fil-A is on the way this morning, compliments of Team Graham!”

This comes after an anonymous group not affiliated with the fraternity set up a fundraiser that has since raised over $516,000 toward a “party they deserve, a party worth of the boat-shoed Broleteriat who did their country proud.” Musician John Rich committed to performing for free, and Ultra Right Beer committed to providing an “unlimited” amount of its product for the party.

According to Rich, the party will now be called “Flagstock,” a patriotic take on the iconic Woodstock concert. Other musicians have been in contact with the country star to have some stage time of their own.

Six protesters were arrested on the UNC campus this week and subsequently charged with arrested and charged with resisting, obstructing, and delaying law enforcement and trespassing. Two protesters are facing additional charges of assaulting a law enforcement officer.
