I myself repeated it too, before being corrected.

The photo of Graham and Joe Biggs which was purported to be from Jan 5th is really from Nov 2019...

That is not to say Graham is innocent, just that one must be careful what exactly we cite as evidence of his culpability.

Yes I can't remember his name or his terrorist group right now. blueinredohio Feb 2021 #7
