Conservatives Mount a Growing #BoycottDrudge Movement Following ‘Black Lives Kill’ Headline Flap

While police officers in downtown Dallas were being killed late Thursday night into Friday morning, conservative media hero Matt Drudge donned the homepage of his eponymous Drudge Report with an unmistakable approach to the story:

This headline. Wow. pic.twitter.com/0ALYFLdC9T

In moments like these, we should do the opposite of what Drudge is doing. Not saying it’s right or wrong; merely imprudent.

And as even David French — that guy whose name you remember because he was briefly championed as the anti-Trump savior to redeem the Republican party — bluntly put it:

I just deleted my Drudge app.

Nice non-story.

Remember, they are #NeverTrump and the chatter is that Drudge is why we have Trump, so they have to attack Drudge who supported Trump.

They are clowns. And if they piss Drudge off enough, it's going to suck. He can counter punch (politically) pretty damn hard.

These people aren’t conservative. Drudge did exactly the RIGHT thing. Black lives matter is a racist black supremacist organization that has been fomenting an anti-cop agenda based on lies and they have blood on their hands as does Obama and Clinton and any other individual that gives cover to these thug activist racists. What we are seeing is these types are phony conservatives more interested in currying favor with the far left than winning on any conservative cause.

These people, these never Trumpers, ARE NOT CONSERVATIVE.

“My question also. These are not conservatives.”
==
It reminds me of when drive-by news media type says, to get in a dig, “Some may say” or “your critics say”.
The only reply should be:
“Specify whom - name these people and cite the quotes”.

And for a gut check, can anyone name another group in America that’s more prone to killing?

It seems to me that black males from their teens to their late 30s are “overperforming” in that regard, especially in Zerobama’s home town of Chicago.

Drudge is a news aggregator, the headline in question would have come from a linked article. It’s not as if he’s writing them himself.

What happened?

Drudge had a headline that said ‘Black Lives Kill’ ?

Is the meaning that ‘Black Lives’ incites cop killers?

Never fight.
Always retreat.

That’s the conservative movement in Obamaland.

And you wonder why the left is laughing and pissing in our faces? I would be too. :)
