Tucker Carlson: Stephen Colbert ‘Doesn’t Fully Understand’ What Black Lives

Carson criticized Black Lives Matter as engaging in bullying, saying the movement is “forcing yourself on people rather than engaging in dialog, and bullying people”. We can hope that he will awaken other voices who care about black lives.

“When I read Rev. Steven Maness’ September 11 letter where he excoriated the Black Lives Matter movement (“Black Lives Matter” sends wrong message”), I remembered that I don’t have to be as angry about it as I would have been maybe in years prior. The Police Lives Matter rally is starting at police headquarters and the crowd will march to the State Capitol. However, politics has offered speak present hosts with each visitors and jokes for many years now: Elections, scandals, and the general presidency of George W. Bush have been all the time fodder for the late-night monologues. Earlier than just lately stepping down at “The Day by day Present”, Colbert’s mentor and former colleague Jon Stewart was comparatively supportive and unapologetic about the motion. But Colbert is on a network now, with a bigger audience and higher stakes. Now a partisan political issue, the story one gets from the right wing media differs from what’s told on more liberal leaning news outlets. Singer Janelle Monae spoke up for the movement in a performance on NBC’s “Today” show last month, prompting a hard cut away from her speech. But I would like to ask why “Black Lives Matter” only when whites kill blacks?

On Sunday, the parents at Fox slammed Colbert for throwing his lot in with a gaggle that, based on them, needs “lifeless cops”.

Carlson questioned if whether or not Colbert had a deep enough understanding of the movement to use his platform to support the movement.

That remains to be seen. The best thing conservatives can do for themselves is stop trying to make themselves part of that problem, but if they insist on doing so, they at the very least won’t be in anyone’s way this time. What’s extra, Black Lives Matter is a broad tapestry of various organizations and people, exclusively considered one of which is definitely named the. “He has Bernie Sanders coming on the show Friday, so he has a great opportunity then”. “I think the community is unwilling to face the fact that Michael Brown was a bad actor”.
