Fox's Will Cain Says Attorney Ben Crump 'Might Be the Single Most Destructive Force in America'

Fox News’ Will Cain accused high-profile attorney Benjamin Crump of being one of the most “destructive forces” in the country.

Crump has represented the families of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Trayvon Martin, Andrew Brown Jr., and several others in the past few years. Body cam footage from the police shooting of Brown was released on Tuesday, and the district attorney said in a press conference that “Mr. Brown’s death, while tragic, was justified because Mr. Brown’s actions caused three deputies with the county sheriff’s office to reasonably believe it was necessary to use deadly force to protect themselves and others.”

Cain told viewers Tuesday that Crump’s “lies have come to be chanted in the streets of America” and that he has “gotten rich off of these lies.”

He called Crump “the most dangerous man in America” and said he “might be the single most destructive force in America.”

Cain went through some of Crump’s most significant cases, going back to the killing of Trayvon Martin, and brought up “Ben Crump’s biggest lie — hands up, don’t shoot.”

These attitudes aren't confined to Fox studios. Some of the calls are coming from right here in the house.

that we need people like him and Al Sharpton.

They are always contacted by affected FAMILIES needing assistance.

They don't just go around after a shooting handing out business cards.

I also remind folks that the same language and smears they use against these folks were used against Martin Luther King, John Lewis, Rosa Parks, and many others they hail as heroes today.

Effective activists are ALWAYS attacked in real time. It means they're doing it right.
