Black Lives Matter leader Hawk Newsome said Saturday on Fox News Channel’s “Unfiltered” that riots are the oppressed lashing out before he stormed out of the interview after refusing to condemn violence.
When asked to condemn rioting, Newsome said, “As Dr. King said, riots are the voice of the unheard. It is a natural occurrence that people can continue to be oppressed. They will lash out. That’s it.”
He added, ‘The Boston Tea Party was a riot.”
Bongino responded, “Do you condemn riots and burning down buildings?”
Newsome said, “No. What I’ll say is, I understand when a police officer unjustifiably kills someone, why people lash out. I understand that completely. I’m not going to condemn, nor am I going to condone it.”
Bongino said, “Isn’t that cowardly? I’m not going to condemn it, but I’m not going to condone it, so I don’t want to take a stand?”
He continued, “You seem to talk a lot of junk and then when I put you on the spot you won’t answer a damn question. Do you condone violence or you condemn violence? You’re all over the place. Just condemn violence and burning of buildings down. How hard is it?”
Newsome asked, “OK, so when Osama bin Laden attacked the World Trade Center, did you say America should deal with it peacefully?”
Bongino said, “You’re not answering the question, man. That has nothing to do with people burning down businesses in New York City. You’re not gonna answer the question, Hawk.”
Newsome said, “I don’t condone it, I don’t promote it, but I will not condemn it.”
Bongino said, “Man, that’s just cowardly. That’s just cowardly.”
While removing his microphone and exiting the interview, Newsome said, “You’re trying to bait me.”
Announcing the potential for 1st amendment gathering and speaking is proper, if not encouraged to spark debate and conversation.
To bypass that and go straight to organizing RIOTS, FIRES and BLOODSHED is inciting riot. There should have been an on-the-spot arrest.

We shoulda picked our own cotton. What were we thinking?

“Thank you! I can not stand these people who twist statements to suit their own agenda.”
Hence, shows like DB need to expose these cowardly lowlifes for who they really are! Nice work, Dan!
I beg to disagree.
I'm grateful that Dan had this piece-of-garbage, societal misfit on his show so that everyone can see for themselves what these dangerous radicals look like, talk like, feel like, smell like......
We should all catch up on the wisdoms contained in the famous "The Art of War" treatise written by General Sun Tzo in the Fifth Century BC....."If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles".
We should thank Dan.....he had the courage to put this criminal on so we could "know the enemy". I don't know who else would have had the guts.

Thanks Marv, and nice job, Dan!
Indeed Christmas is only a few weeks away
There WAS a time when the voice of blacks wasn't heard. That's NOT the case today. Today it's the 'voice that won't shut up... the voice addicted to the pity parry. The voice unwilling to hear the screams of all other racial and ethnic groups in the United States...
Blacks are former victims who have become bullies.
Hawk Newsome's a coward and a bully. No wonder he's afraid of honest debate... bullies don't examine fairness - they make threats. Hawk needs to stand up to democrat white liberal 'elites' and tell them he's tired of being played for the violent sterotype democrats want him to project...
“Let no man pull you so low as to hate him.”

“Let no man pull you so low as to hate him.” - Dr. King...
Dr. King also said that riots are socially destructive and self-defeating. I guess Newsome breezed right by that part.
Destroying business’s and stealing tv’ and tennis shoes has nothing about being oppressed. Just criminals that need to be jailed. Note that the democrat party protects these criminals.
He should have been asked, “if a black criminal kills an innocent white person, should white people burn down black owned homes and businesses because that is what BLM does?”
Excellent question...
Some might do this. Some may want to do this. But their sense of justice, community and only blaming the perpetrator deters them from taking action.
