"BLACK LIVES KILL."

Those were the three words that blared across the Drudge Report early Friday morning after five Dallas police officers were killed in a horrific ambush attack.

And immediately upon seeing the race-baiting headline, conservatives rebelled against a once-reliable ally who has become more and more divisive to them over the course of the 2016 campaign.

“In moments like these, we should do the opposite of what Drudge is doing,” Commentary Magazine Editor Noah Rothman wrote on Twitter.

“Responsible reporting as always,” sarcastically tweeted Jeff Blehar, from the popular Ace of Spades blog.

Others piled on.

Allahpundit, an influential anonymous conservative blogger, skewered the site for a subsequent banner headline claiming a “black power group” had claimed responsibility for the attack....

LOL! So fake conservatives that are Globalist first, very anti-Trump, that have tiny ammount if traffic compared to Drudge are upset because they want politically correct censored news.

In the meanwhile, Yahoo exzaggerates the story because they know Drudge is the king of news.

I'm so upset by the self-evident truths that Matt has stooped to that I will cut my daily visits to his America-first newsite by 0.065%.

It has finally come to this. “Conservatives” retreating to their safe spaces and complaining about microagressions.

Just trying to figure out what cuck means? I thought it was short for kook or cuckoo!

Drudge headlines as of late seem okay with me. What’s the big deal?

This smear campaign really has more to do with Drudge supporting Trump.

It's going to get worse before it gets better. There will be a lot of butthurt come the November elections.

It was an editorialized headline, as we come to expect from Drudge and why we go.

Drudge Nailed it.

All the fools, traitors, knaves and poseurs are revealing themselves.

If they’re conservative, conversative is a very bad thing to be.

Co-opted? Where have you been? It was started by black racists working with ANSWER - a Communist group. My goodness. Just like feminism wasn’t “co-opted”, it was started by proto communist man hater pervs.

If any “well meaning” people were duped, the mean-wellers are terminally stupid and enabling the worse ones.

It got started right after Fergesun. The first public posters saying BLM had “ANSWER” at the bottom, at a “protest” in NYC. Fergesun was engineered by old white anarcho-commies, black racists and mohammedans.
