The Black Lives Matter online social justice group were barred from attending last night’s GOP debate. In addition, the Republican candidates were instructed not to mention or answer questions about the group whose militant members disrupted campaign speeches given by presidential candidates over the past few months.
Debate co-moderator and CNN anchor Jake Tapper informed CNN viewers there was no time to address the group.
Tapper later said he regretted not addressing the issue.
Julia Craven, a BLM supporter who writes for the leftist Huffington Post blog, expressed her anger at BLM’s exclusion from last night’s debate.
“This is disgraceful, given that Black Lives Matter is arguably the most powerful social justice movement to emerge in the last 50 years,” she wrote.
Fox News’ Megyn Kelly, who hosted (and hijacked) the first GOP debate, asked about “the biggest civil rights issue of our time.”
Black Lives Matter agitator Deray McKesson tweeted, “Even Fox asked a question about the movement. @CNN, what’s good?” McKesson was among the BLM leaders invited to the White House for tea yesterday.
