The lie at the core of the Black Lives Matter movement was that Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri was a victim of a racist cop. Brown was a “victim” of his own criminality and his stupidity in charging an armed man, and, as a result he died on August 9, 2014. A web of lies were quickly constructed around this encounter and the city of Ferguson, Missouri was devastated by a violent series of riots. The Black Lives Matters movement used this as a spring board, and what happened in Ferguson is happening around the nation now. Few political movements in US history have so entirely been based completely on mendacity.

Liberal White guilt makes these lies believable and helps to coalesce anti-Trump fervor.
Shhh! Don’t tell the bishops. I don’t think they could take it. Please don’t destroy the only thing they believe in besides the right to their own pleasure and worldly esteem.
I remember seeing a roundtable discussion after the Steve Scalise shooting where everyone agreed that it was a conspiracy theory to think that the gunman was politically motivated. Furthermore, they said, to speculate about political motivations cheapened shootings which were very clearly politically motivated, like the Gabby Giffords shooting.
They don’t even try to hide the fact that they report their narrative, not the facts.
If it weren’t for lies, they’d have nothing.
