BREAKING NEWS – Washington, D.C. – Black Lives Matter (BLM) is attacking Senate Democrats for supporting what appeared to be a largely symbolic and nonbinding measure opposing attempts to defund the police.
“Tell the House to Remove the Senate’s Anti-Black Amendment to the Budget Resolution,” the group tweeted Friday. “They vote on this next week!”
In a follow-up tweet, they added: “In fact, 1 of the 2 Black Democratic Senators — Cory Booker — said in a speech tonight that he thinks this amendment is ‘a gift’ that would let Democrats ‘put to bed this scurrilous accusation that somebody in this great esteemed body would want to defund the police.’”
BLM then referred to Booker as a “pineapple head”, and demanded that he leaves New Jersey and join his relatives Hawaii.
