The president of the Greater New York Black Lives Matter chapter is justifying the use of violence to get what they want and said “if this country doesn’t give us what we want, then we will burn down this system.”
Hawk Newsome the threat during an appearance on Fox News. During the interview, he stated that “Jesus Christ is the most famous black radical revolutionary in history.”
Fox News host Martha MacCallum asked what he and BLM hope to achieve with “violence.”
Newsome responded, “It’s interesting that you would pose that question like that because this country is built upon violence. What was the American Revolution? What’s our diplomacy across the globe? We go in and we blow up countries and we replace their leaders with leaders who we like. So for any American to accuse us of being violent is extremely hypocritical.”
Martha explained that her question was actually in reference to other comments he had made regarding BLM using violence.

President Trump took to Twitter to respond to the threats in the harshest way ever.
Here’s what he said:
“Black Lives Matter leader states, “If U.S. doesn’t give us what we want, then we will burn down this system and replace it”. This is Treason, Sedition, Insurrection!”

We know that Black Lives Matter is a Marxist group. The founder has announced proudly that she is a “trained Marxist.”

This is not about George Floyd – it’s never been about him and it’s not about “Black Lives” if it was, there would be protesting in the streets of Chicago.
This is about control, domination, and destroying everything that the United States was founded on and replace it with communism.
And THAT must be stopped.
