Trump assails Black Lives Matter in appeal to Black voters | TheHill
Trump criticized the organization, whose goal is to combat police violence and racial injustice, for calling for funding to be reduced or redirected from police departments during a campaign event in Atlanta. He sought to blame violence and destruction that has accompanied some racial justice protests in U.S. cities on Black Lives Matter.
It s really hurting the Black community, Trump said. This is an unusual name for an organization whose ideology and tactics are right now destroying many Black lives.
ADVERTISEMENTTrump claimed that Black Lives Matter wants to achieve destruction of the nuclear family and abolish the police, prisons, border security, capitalism and school choice.
This is not the agenda of the Black community. This is the agenda of an extreme socialist or worse, you know what the other word is Marxist, communist this is the extreme socialist left, but beyond that in my opinion, Trump continued.
At one point during his remarks, Trump referred to Black Lives Matter organizers as fools prompting cheers from the crowd.
