During a heated segment with Fox News host Martha MacCallum on Wednesday, Black Lives Matter Greater New York Chair Hawk Newsome issued what many have criticized as a terroristic threat.
Newsome warned that if the United States “doesn’t give us what we want, then we will burn down this system and replace it.”
“If this country doesn’t give us what we want then we will burn down the system and replace it,” Newsome said. “And I could be speaking figuratively, I could be speaking literally. It’s a matter of interpretation.”
The BLM leader argued that historically violence and rioting were necessary in order for points to be made and the system to change for blacks.
Newsome also argued that the protests were a form of self-defense and that it’s hypocritical to call out violence perpetrated by Black Lives Matter as anything less than the defense of their lives.
MacCallum uncharacteristically went light on Newsome. Turn the page for this incredible interview.
I’m all for change and believe it should have been done years ago. Threats of burning steel country down are not acceptable.
This man is unreasonable. He said, multiple times, that if the country doesn’t give them what they want, they will burn down the system.
He was given a platform and did not mention what he wanted. Until this group says what they want, it’s fair to assume they want to continue the riots and looting.
So you are going to get 13% of the population to burn this country down??? That’s 87% to stop you….Bring It On Ass!
Oh come on… We know who lite this unnecessary fire. We know Soros has made you and many more very rich. Shame on you for bringing Jesus’s name into your evil ways!
I don’t see anyone out to kill Black Lives Matter the way other people get killed. They’re getting all kinds of corporate sponsors for their rioting, so it’s like, kind of a joke to consider that Racism Inc. is a thing in the DNC when we have real racketeering and real problems in this country that require good law enforcement. They’re handcuffing it, and playing Civil Rights Leadership for Halloween as far as I’m concerned.
He forgets there is people that won’t let that happen, Let him have his time in the spotlight, it’ll be the only he will ever get! He’s a thug and thugs don’t last long in the heart of America!
If you things you can treat all Americans with your treats then you have a big problem in your hands U.S.M.C. VETERAN ON THE GO
These animals are terrorizing our country and we should call out our troops and shut them down!! Marshal Law and curfew and shoot anyone who violates the curfew! Use fire trucks with high pressure hoses and clean our streets of these terrorist!!
Sounds like extortion to me
This country has been under attack by these terrorists. They are no longer citizens of the United states due to their treasonous, terrorist acts. They are trying to destroy our country and the Democrats are apparently a part of these actions. They need to be removed from our society to protect the people of the United states and the country. Our military is the step we need to take next to remove this enemy. If our government does not take appropriate action immediately then the people of this country must take the necessary actions to include the removal of the persons in our government that are not doing their job. These people committing these acts of violence, destruction and trying to destroy our country should be handled in the same manner as a war criminal. They have to be destroyed or incarcerated. No mercy on the war front.
