Elisabeth Hasselback Is Confused At The Fact #BlackLivesMatter Isn’t A Hate Group

Fox News doesn’t understand the Black Lives Matter movement. Last week Larry Elder criticized an upcoming Black Lives Matter book—one he hadn’t even read yet—for teaching black people that they’re “victims.” He then criticized the fact that people protested the deaths of Michael Brown and others, because he believes the real problem at hand is black-on-black crime. Fellow Fox talking head Elisabeth Hasselbeck criticized the Black Lives Matter movement today during a Fox & Friends segment saying she didn’t know why it wasn’t labeled a “hate group.”

Hasselbeck said,

“…Why has the black lives movement—the black lives matter movement—not been classified yet as a hate group? I mean how much more has to go in this direction before someone actually labels it as such?”

She made the outrageous comment while discussing Friday’s killing of Texasdeputy Darren Goforth, a white officer, at the hands of Shannon J. Miles, a black man, whom authorities think targeted Go forth because of his uniform, despite Miles not having ties to the movement.
