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.
Kendall Tietz is a Production Assistant with Fox News Digital.
Will, a member of UNC's Phi Delta Theta chapter, told Fox News Digital that in the lead-up to last Tuesday's protest, he spent time talking to people to better understand exactly what they aimed to achieve with their demonstrations. Will said he and his friend Ben went to see the protest in the early afternoon, but ultimately left. Once they heard the American flag had been ripped down and replaced by the Palestinian flag, they rushed back to campus.
"We were kind of baffled," Will said of his experience watching the Palestinian flag raise up on the flag pole at the American university.
