“May be”? Of course the riots are aimed at the election.
amazing how multiple FakeFactCheckers rushed to dispel any connection between Black Lives Matter and the Democrat PAC.
as always, they chose to nit-pick about precisely what was claimed, instead of simply acknowledging there was a common Democrat thread.
ALSO NOTE THE CORRECTION AT BOTTOM OF POLITIFACT’S PIECE, AND COMPARE WITH DESCRIPTION IN THE ARTICLE BEING DISCUSSED HERE:
12 Jun: Politifact: Ryan Fournier stated on June 11, 2020 in a status:
“All money donated to Black Lives Matter goes directly to Act Blue, a Democrat Super PAC that then feeds the money to Democrat candidates.”...
•ActBlue is a nonprofit technology organization that provides a platform for people to contribute to Democratic campaigns and causes. Black Lives Matter and Democratic presidential candidates both use the platform to fundraise...
In a since-deleted June 11 Facebook post (archived here), Ryan Fournier, co-founder of Students for Trump, claimed that donations to Black Lives Matter were actually being funneled to Democratic campaigns.
“All money donated to Black Lives Matter goes directly to ActBlue, a Democrat Super PAC that then feeds the money to Democrat candidates,” he said. “Congratulations, you played yourself.”
The post was flagged as part of Facebook’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Facebook.) Fournier deleted the post after we reached out to him, but the Twitter version remained posted...
Other conservative commentators, such as Candace Owens and the Hodgetwins, Instagram posts have made similar allegations. So we looked into them.
The post is inaccurate. ActBlue is a platform for people to contribute to Democratic campaigns and other causes like Black Lives Matter...
Black Lives Matter is using ActBlue’s fundraising platform to take donations...
For example, if you were to go to Biden’s donation page, you would be redirected to a page on ActBlue’s fundraising platform to complete the transaction...
The Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, Inc., the organization that operates the Black Lives Matter website, is fiscally sponsored by the nonprofit Thousand Currents. That means Thousand Currents is handling Black Lives Matter’s finances as the organization seeks its own tax-exempt status...
The Facebook post is inaccurate. We rate it False...
Correction, June 16, 2020: A previous version of this article stated that the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation, Inc. is a nonprofit. In fact, it is in a fiscal sponsorship with a nonprofit. It is not yet its own 501(c)(3) organization.

I think a Trump PAC should do an ad/video, simply showing how donating to BLM leads to ActBlue. no further inference is needed.
AP got in on the act too, naturally:
12 Jun: AP: Fact-checking: Link on Black Lives Matter website does not donate directly to DNC
