It's more like 'Black Lies Matter,' says Milwaukee Sheriff David Clarke
// Personal Liberty Digest™
During an interview on Fox this week, Milwaukee Sheriff David Clarke said that liberal politicians helped to empower the Black Lives Matter movement for political gain. But, he contends, the left's political fixers have lost control of the movement and it's going to cause big problems.
"Hillary, meet Frankenstein," Clarke said, referring to a recent meeting Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton had with Black Lives activists.
"They created this monster," he continued. "Now they realize that if you cannot continue to feed the beast, the beast will turn on you and eat you. And that's what's going on here."
Clarke, who is black, said he has renamed the activist group "Black Lies Matter."
"This is the bastard child, as you know, of the Hands Up, Don't Shoot [movement]," he told Fox's Sean Hannity. "The whole thing is built on a lie; the whole premise is built on a lie."
Clarke said he sees the Black Lives group as a "conglomeration of misfits" that includes people from the all but forgotten Occupy movement, organized labor, criminals, cop haters, anarchists and black racists.
"No longer can blacks claim victim status, except for one situation" Clark Said. "They are victims to the Democrat Party … and what modern liberalism has done to the black family."
The sheriff said politicians have fallen over themselves to bow to the Black Lives movement because they wrongly believe it will earn them the black vote in 2016.
If politicians and activists really cared about black lives in the United States, they'd focus their attention elsewhere.
"If black lives really mattered, they'd be protesting all of the black-on-black crime," Clarke said. "If they really cared about black lives, that's what they'd be protesting."
This isn't the first time Clarke has made headlines speaking out against wrongheaded leftist policies.
In recent years, the sheriff has been very outspoken about the importance of gun ownership.
Clarke even bought radio ads encouraging people to arm themselves against a rise in violent crime, touting Wisconsin's Personal Protection Act and encouraging residents to "[c]onsider taking a certified safety course in handling of firearms, so you can defend yourself until we [law enforcement] get there. You have a duty to protect yourself and your family."
The move put him in the crosshairs of anti-gun nanny and former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who bankrolled the candidacy of a Democratic challenger to Clarke's last re-election bid.
Despite the outside influence, Clarke won with 52 percent of the vote.
