While Donald Trump continues to push the narrative that Black Lives Matter protestors are “anarchists,” it is his own supporters who are instigating the violence.
According to Richmond police, the riots that broke out in the city over the weekend were instigated by white supremacists who were posing as BLM protestors.
“There were white supremacists marching under the banner of Black Lives Matter, an attempt to undermine an otherwise overwhelmingly peaceful movement toward social justice,” Richmond mayor Levar Stoney. “We’ve spoken on many occasions about those who’ve chosen a more violent route to express their discontent and what that does for the overall movement toward social justice.”
Stoney thanked Black Lives Matter protesters for trying to stop the white supremacists from provoking violence and destruction.
