BLM infighting escalates over demands for ‘accountability’ and ‘transparency’

Black Lives Matter is disintegrating into squabbling over money, even though it won’t frankly admit the base motivation behind the fights that have erupted and escalated yesterday. Democrats always project their own plans and values onto their enemies. So when Rep. Ilhan Omar tweeted, “it’s all about the Benjamins, baby” intending to allege that “Israel’s allies in American politics were motivated by money rather than principle,” she inadvertently exposed the real motivations of many of her major allies.

Monica Showalter prophetically saw Black Lives Matter starting to fall apart over money almost two weeks ago, and events yesterday confirmed her prediction. Jon Street of Fox News reports on the grass roots local chapters that are demanding “accountability” and “transparency” in the wake of earlier revelations about the lavish spending of co-founder Patrisse Cullors . The reactions escalated yesterday, as the news that she has spent at least $35,000 on fencing and an electronic gate for that luxury compound became known.

Amid increased scrutiny of Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullor's [sic] lavish spending, including her reported purchases of multiple homes totaling upward of $3 million and the installation of fencing and an electric gate around one of those homes, the original ten BLM chapters are demanding more accountability and transparency from the BLM global network.

If Cullors hoped that publicly announcing that she was stepping down from her role would quiet criticism, she is wrong.

But Cullors' [sic] move to step down is not enough to satisfy a growing number of BLM chapters' demand for change within the organization. Referring to initial calls for more transparency and accountability from the "BLM 10," the name for the ten original BLM chapters, a new group, deemed the "BLM 10 Plus" is now speaking out.

...the lavish spending of co-founder Patrisse Cullors.

BLM got looted and they don't like it? Not to worry - the insurance should cover any losses.

Trotskyites vs. Stalinists fighting over who gets the money. Communism can be very lucrative is you can get on top of the pyramid.
