Bill Barr under fire for calling Black Lives Matter a 'Bolshevik organization'

with ‘fascistic’ tactics


US attorney general Bill Barr made waves with a Fox News interview this weekend in which he called the Black Lives Matter movement “Bolshevik” and “fascistic” – and the fallout is still simmering.

Host Mark Levin, who conducted the interview, is now pushing back against the mainstream media’s coverage of the segment, accusing newspapers’ fact checkers of lying about Black Lives Matter’s true nature and declaring that journalists are in cahoots with “violent Marxists”.

“I think they would be, you know, generally for bringing down any administration,” said Mr Barr. “They are a revolutionary group that is interested in some form of socialism, communism, they’re essentially Bolsheviks, their tactics are fascistic.”

The attorney general also claimed that protesters are often seen wearing helmets and shields with hammers and sickles on them, but that these never appear in the media because journalists have intentionally crafted a “narrative” that does not correspond to the objective truth.
