Black Lives Matter Corruption Should Be Investigated

Patrisse Cullors, the co-founder of Black Lives Matter, may be the biggest con artist in America. The late Bernie Madoff couldn’t have gotten away with schemes (indeed, he didn’t) like the ones Cullors and BLM have — all while in the national spotlight. Tax documents released last week point to possible misuse of donations to BLM on an absurd scale. Based on these documents, Cullors and BLM deserve America’s contempt.

Investigative reporting by multiple outlets, including the Associated Press, has shown how Cullors and company spent millions of dollars donated to Black Lives Matter. After the death of George Floyd in 2020, BLM became one of America’s biggest brands overnight. Corporations, organizations, and many on the left were tripping head over foot to throw money into BLM’s coffers. Ordinary Americans made donations, too, because they mistakenly believed it would help African Americans, some of whom genuinely need support. Within seven months, BLM went from owning peanuts to raking in $90 million.
