University of North Carolina fraternity members who helped defend the American flag against protesters in viral images spoke with Fox News Digital about the chaos.
CHAPEL HILL, N.C.– A group of fraternity members at the University of North Carolina captured the attention of the nation last week when they held up the American flag as pro-Palestinian protesters tried to replace the Stars and Stripes with a Palestinian flag. After enduring nearly an hour of screaming, slurring and flying objects, the fraternity brothers held up the fallen American flag until it could be restored in a display that many considered a heroic act of patriotism.
Will said he felt like there were definitely outside agitators coming in who were masked and 'just appeared out of the woodwork.' He said he witnessed another man screaming at a group of three fraternity brothers, 'just losing his mind at them.' 'Any chance you had at empathy and people having support for your cause kind of went out the window as soon as you took the flag and you started getting violent,' Ben said.
