Conservative TV personality Elisabeth Hasselbeck suggested that the Black Lives Matter movement is a hate group Monday, sparking outrage.
While discussing a Minnesota protest, the "Fox and Friends" co-host asked a guest, "Kevin, why has the Black Lives Matter movement not been classified as a hate group? How much more has to go in this direction before someone actually labels it as such?"
Her guest, conservative black writer Kevin Jackson, said "Well they should do it, but unfortunately it's being financed by the leftists ... Ironically it's people that have nothing, really no concern at all about black lives."
Hasselbeck, a former co-host on "The View," was discussing the St. Paul protesters' chant of "Fry 'em like bacon! Pigs in a blanket!" — which police took to be a promotion to target them the day after a Texas deputy was shot while pumping gas into his police cruiser. Black Lives Matter organizers said they were not advocating for violence, just equal treatment.
After the fallout from her comments, Hasselbeck said she was trying to find a balance between journalism and her religion.
"My calling @foxandfriends is to ask questions and my calling as a #Christian is to #LoveAllGodsPeople - I give my best to do both each day," she wrote on Twitter around 1:30 p.m. Tuesday.

#Blacklivesmater is a movement. What exactly do you want them to do? what can they do other than express their views on their social media site by raising awareness and starting in depth conversations on how the police treat minorities?
I don't agree, but it WOULD probably benefit their cause to ease up on the "burn this **** down" "fry em like pigs" chants, that CAN be perceived as inciting violence, though fortunately it hasn't lead to that yet.

I've spoken to some #blacklivesmatter activist
and they were aggressive and argumentative
and painted anyone who isn't black as an enemy
BUT it comes from a place of true anger, frustration,sadness and passion.
They have a "desperate times call for desperate measures" mentality
and who can blame them.
In fairness, this little sect deserves to be dragged to Hell and back.
Overall, the #BlackLivesMatter campaign is more than one group (heck, it's more than just the organization) and it's got a very, very vital role in the global culture right now.
