Burgess Owens: ‘Black Lives Matter Inc. is nothing but a Marxist organization’

Published August 21, 2020 3:26pm ET



Super Bowl champion and Utah congressional candidate Burgess Owens voiced strong criticism of the Black Lives Matter movement, calling it a “Marxist organization.”

“We are at a very clear crossroads in our country,” Owens, who is currently running to represent Utah’s 4th Congressional District, told Fox News host Martha MacCallum Thursday night. “We have one vision that says we the people are empowered by education, and we will give that power to the people and the other side is they want to empower themselves by stealing our education, stealing our history. Which should not be a surprise, and for those who can go to Google, you’ll find out that BLM inc. is nothing but a Marxist organization.”
