Sarah Palin: ‘Black Lives Matter is a farce’

Published July 9, 2016 1:59am ET



Former 2008 GOP running mate Sarah Palin weighed in on this week’s police and civilian shootings, calling the Black Lives Matter group a “farce and hyphenating America destroys us,” in a Facebook post Friday night.

“Shame on our culture’s influencers who would stir contention and division that could lead to evil such as that in Dallas. Shame on politicians and pundits giving credence to thugs rioting against police officers and the rule of law in the name of ‘peaceful protests.’ It is a farce. #BlackLivesMatter is a farce,” the former Alaskan governor wrote.
