GOP Sen. Lindsey Graham warned protesters to stop "trying to burn down America" after the U.S. Supreme Court voted to overturn Roe V. Wade in a landmark decision last week.

"When Roe came out, we didn't burn down the Capitol as conservatives. We didn't go to liberal justices' homes and try to intimidate them. The radical left are constitutional anarchists, they're literally trying to change this country from top to bottom," Graham added in his comments. "They want to pack the court because they don't like this decision. They want to abolish the electoral college so California and New York can pick the president in perpetuity."
Graham said he is also urging Attorney General Merrick Garland to arrest pro-abortion activists who target SCOTUS justices with protests outside their homes.
