The mayor of DC had a stroke of genius when she did this there...the president is gonna have a stroke of a whole other kind with this!

Absolutely childish. How is this going to help the BLM movement.

They are forgetting to put the word ALL in front of that mural, not just the ones that make national news because they were killed by a white policeman. #MekhiJameslifematteredtoo

CNN's Don Lemon has clarified that the present BLM movement is NOT about all black lives, only those who were killed by law enforcement. He said if you care about the blacks being killed by other blacks that you are free to begin another movement, but not to conflate them with this very specific movement. At least he was honest for a change.

So, in other words he (or whomever) hijacked the BLM name for their own cause instead of coming up with a NEW name for their NEW cause. Got it. Sounds like #bullshitsplatters

It looks like the stunt isn’t as popular as assumed:

I see it as a positive thing. The more time spent painting slogans on the street, the less time he has to send Covid patients into nursing homes.

Not to defend de Blasio, but that was actually the decision of NY Governor Cuomo.
I’ve often said they call the wrong Cuomo brother “Fredo“.

From the article, referring to douchebag deBlasio:
“This is what he is concerned about while the city burns. What an amateur politician.”

Classic line, full of truth.
