Washington Examiner's Quin Hillyer Digs Into Marxist Agenda of BLM Founders

Washington Examiner's Quin Hillyer Digs Into Marxist Agenda of BLM Founders Read Transcript


- Great to see you again.

Well, you wrote that BlackLives Matter organizers

have communist terrorism roots.

Tell us more.

- Well, I'm actually drawing

on the work of my "WashingtonExaminer" colleague,

Jerry Dunleavy, who justdid some basic research

and found that the three womenwho began the organization,

Black Lives Matter, and Irepeat, the organization.

Not just the slogan.

A lot of people believe black lives matter

because black lives do matter,

but the organization BLM hadthree women who were founders

and all three have tremendouslyradical backgrounds,

all are avowed Marxists,

and a couple of them list as their mentors

and as their financial backers people

with openly communist affiliations

and with terrorist backgrounds themselves.

And it's not...

This isn't just sort ofguilt by association.

This is somebody, one ofthe Black Lives founders,

Black Lives Matter founders actively,

repeatedly saying,"This lady is my mentor.

She taught me basicallyeverything that I know."

And you look at who the ladyis that she's referring to

and she's been arrestedfor terrorist acts.

One of the people thatis listed as a mentor

is on the FBI's Most WantedList and so on and so forth.

It is absolutely radical,counter-cultural,

Marxist and terrorist andthese are the inspirations

for the people that run this organization.

- Quinn, what does thistell us about the motives

behind the group?

What's their ultimate goal?

- Their ultimate goalis cultural revolution

and it's left-wing Marxistrevolution at that.

It is to completely up end the society,

up end the capitalist system entirely,

to institute a radical redistribution,

not just of wealth, butof all sorts of things,

of power, et cetera, et cetera,

and to create their openlyMarxist or communist society.

That's what they are.

That's what they say they want to do.

- Is there evidence of coordination

behind these nationwideprotests that we're seeing?

- Well, the evidence is that

so many times in report,after report, after report,

when people are arrested at these protests

that turn into violent riots,

that when they actuallylook at who the people

are that were arrested,

meaning the people that the cops caught

being the most violent, theytend to be from out of town.

So if it's a Kenosha, Wisconsin riot,

these might be people from Seattle

or from Portland or from,you know, de Moines, Iowa

or whatever, but there arepeople that are bused in.

This happened where I think it was 60%

of those arrested in one of these riots

were from out of town.

That's example number one.

Example number two is they found

a bus loaded with ammunition.

Now you don't have, you know,

sort of spontaneous street protests

that just happened to devolve into riots

if somebody is organized enough

to load a bus up with ammunition.

So those are among the pieces of evidence

that shows that even though

there are certainly some local protesters

and some of them definitely mean well,

but that the violent agitation thereof

is driven by some outsideforce, some outside organizers.

And it's not just aimed atpeaceful protest at all.

- Yeah.

The Democratic party has been pretty quiet

about these riots and violence,

even though these protests

have been going on now for months.

What role does the politicalleft and the Democratic party

play in Black Lives Matter?

- Well, first of all,

up until very recently,

leading Democrats almost across the board

have encouraged the protests

even, as day after day after day,

the protests turned violent,

turned into riots, turned into arson

and looting and all sorts of other things,

including in several cases,injuries, murder, mayhem.

The top Democrats wereadvocating the riots

without offering anywords at all of, you know,

trying to pull peopleback from the violence.

You had Kamala Harris, justas a Kenosha was burning...

No, excuse me.

As Minneapolis was burning.

I mean, right at the heightof the Minneapolis riots,

she went on with Colbertand said these protests will

and must continue andthey're not gonna stop.

They won't even stop after election day.

Now, when you say that at atime when tensions are high

and violence is highwithout offering any words

of you know, caution about the violence,

then what you're doing isthrowing flame on the fire.

And that's exactly what Kamala Harris did.

- Why isn't the media reporting on this,

or at least very little reportingthat, you know, I've seen?

- Well, because the establishment media,

the big daily papers, "NewYork Times," "Washington Post,"

et cetera, et cetera, thebig news organizations,

especially, you know, thesort of coastal elites,

most of their reporterstend to agree with the goals

of the protesters and, frankly,

tend not to be terriblyexercised if there's a little,

there's a little lootingand a little, you know,

little graffiti goingon, et cetera, et cetera.

You know, you gotta break some eggs

to make an omelet.

That kind of attitude.

That's their attitude.

And so they can't really raise themselves

to doing their job as journalists,

which is to report on all of this,

to investigate where the impetus

for the violence is coming from.

They just want to turn away

and pretend, as we haveheard again and again,

that these are quote,"Mostly peaceful protests."

Well, it can't be mostly peaceful

if night after night there are fires set

and cops getting injured.

- Quinn, lastly, I'm curious.

What was your reaction?

What was the feedback rather

to your article about theroots of Black Lives Matter?

- Well, for, you know, forthe number of followers

I have on Twitter, myTwitter account has been,

I guess, relatively blowing up.

I mean, there've been allsorts of, you know, comments

and retweets and all that kind of stuff.

And of course it ran on the front page

of "RealClearPolitics."

I've been getting some email messages.

It seems to have stirred up alittle bit of a hornet's nest.

- All right.

Well, good reporting as always.

Quinn Hilliard, thanks for being with us.

We appreciate it.

- Thank you, Wendy.

Appreciate it.
