Black Lives Matter leader rejects protests against Trump, Elon Musk''s DOGE team

2025-02-19

[NYPOST] A Black Lives Matter leader called out Democrats

...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy, white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects...
' anti-DOGE protests, calling the far-left demonstrators ''sore losers'' as they erupted into the streets to protest the Trump administration on President's Day.

BLM Inc. executive director Mark Fisher, who voted for Donald Trump
...The cad! Twice caught beating wimmin!...
in 2024,

…when even BLM leaders are Trumpsters, what is left for the Democrats? Though to be fair, Mr. Fisher was stumping for Trump back in 2023…

joined ''FOX & Friends'' to discuss the movement and why he considers it a play from ''George Soros
...either Ernst Stavro Blofeld or Auric Goldfinger come true. Maybe both....
' playbook.''

''These protests, they're all performative,'' Fisher told Lawrence Jones on Tuesday. ''In my state, in Rhode Island, it was maybe a dozen, a couple dozen people out— with some signs and stuff— it smells of the George Soros playbook.''

Don’t know what your former side calls it, Mr. Fisher, but we call astroturf.

''It's interesting to me, the day of the protest that was scheduled by online demonstrators for the fifth and the 17th, I think a couple of days before that, they had scheduled a protest for illegal immigration in several strategic cities across the country. So this is just them— being sore losers and sour grapes.''

The 5051 Movement

…short for "50 protests, 50 states, one day". A couple thousand people altogether turned out nationwide for the first protest, as far as I can tell. And the single photo at the link suggests they didn’t even get as many this time…

organized protests nationwide on Monday, calling out Elon Musk, his efforts through the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and President Trump as they continue to cut down on government waste.
