Tea Party leader rants about #BlackLivesMatter: ‘Soros-funded anarchists and socialists’
On the Newsmax.com video series The Hard Line with Ed Berliner, Tea Party leader Niger Innis went off on a conspiracy-heavy rant connecting the #BlackLivesMatter movement to the far-right’s perennial bogeyman George Soros.
Berliner asked Innis — the executive director of the website TeaParty.net — if anything has really changed on the ground in Ferguson, Missouri at the year anniversary of the slaying of unarmed teen Michael Brown by Officer Darren Wilson.
Innis started off reasonably enough, saying that with an increased presence of African-Americans on the police force and in city leadership, things are improving in Ferguson.
“Plus, I think the whole idea of police as tax collectors with guns is dead,” he said, referring to city officials’ policy of using fines against the city’s poorest citizens as a major source of civic revenue, meaning that police have no incentive to reduce crime.
