In the aftermath of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, an old photo reemerged online showing U.S. Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina posing with Joe Biggs, a prominent member of the right-wing Proud Boys group.
Proud Boys leader Henry"Enrique" Tarrio on suspicion of destroying a Black Lives Matter banner taken from a historic Black church in Washington, a month earlier.
The photograph was authentic, and did indeed show Graham posing for a picture with Biggs in what a spokesperson for Graham acknowledged was likely a Trump hotel. However, Graham's spokesperson refuted Burke's claim that the two men were"having dinner," and the description of the photograph as being taken"before Biggs helped organize an assault on the U.S. Capitol" gave the mistaken impression that the two events were proximate in time.
This means that Graham posed with Biggs for the photograph more than a year before the attack on the U.S. Capitol, contrary to the impression created by Burke's tweet, which ambiguously stated that the two men had met"before Biggs helped organize an assault on the U.S. Capitol" — a formula of words which likely suggested to many viewers that their meeting had taken placeThe second questionable component of Burke's tweet was the claim that Graham and Biggs had dined together.
