The Black Lives Matter chapter of Hartford, CT, has been slammed after a flurry of distasteful posts following the attempted assassination of former president Donald Trump.
For millions across the country, the shooting in Butler, PA, saw political divisions withdrawn as Republicans and Democrats rallied around the injured Trump. Miraculously, Trump survived relatively unscathed, while one attendee was tragically killed during the heinous attack, and others were wounded.
Meanwhile, the Black Lives Matter movement was as vicious as ever, deciding to publicly support violence, which is on brand for them.
Posting on their X account, the Hartford BLM chapter account posted shocking messages within minutes of the attempt on the former president’s life, with its initial reaction being an offer to pay the (now-deceased) shooter’s bond.
Hours later, the BLM account described the attack as a “flesh wound on a coke head,” adding that it was “extremely underwhelming” that the GOP nominee had survived.
The BLM chapter also suggested that Thomas Matthew Crooks, the would-be assassination who was slain by a counter sniper from Secret Service, had bought the rifle from Temu – a Chinese-owned site with a reputation from low-quality products.
On Sunday, July 14, the account continued to spout bile with a picture of a key chain featuring former Prime Minister of Japan Shinzo Abe and John F. Kennedy – both victims of assassination attempts – as well as Trump.
Since the weekend’s events, the account has continued to share conspiracy theories over the assassination while repeatedly criticizing Trump for allegedly playing golf – a claim which has been proven false.
When shared to a wider audience by @libsoftitkok, many condemned the account and the actions of BLM.
Others declared BLM to be a terrorist organization.
