John Fetterman wipes Black Lives Matter section from campaign site amid attacks over crime

Senate candidate John Fetterman, D-Pa., has removed mentions of Black Lives Matter from his campaign website in the last month, a review of archived webpages showed.

The "issues" page on Fetterman's website currently includes sections on inflation ,criminal justice reform, legalizing cannabis, renewable energy, immigration and several other topics, but doesn't include any section devoted to Black Lives Matter. Archived copies of the page, though, show that as recently as Aug. 22, the same page highlighted Fetterman's commitment to Black Lives Matter.

"John served as mayor of a city that’s more than 80% Black, and has championed the idea that Black lives matter since long before it became a hashtag," the previous version of the campaign website stated under a section titled "Black Lives Matter."

The same line appears to have been on Fetterman's website since February 2021, the month he announced he would run for Senate. Fetterman secured the Democratic nomination for the seat in May, setting up a showdown against Republican nominee Dr. Mehmet Oz in November.

Fetterman spokesperson Joe Calvello said it was "false" to suggest the campaign has removed all Black Lives Matter references. He explained that Fetterman references Black Lives Matter in a "personalized video" on the site addressing gun violence. In the video, which was published in April, Fetterman states that, in the past, he never saw the media or general public caring about "Black lives mattering."

Somebody should see if he has the ability to say “All lives matter” on live television.

Why would he erase it? Isn’t he proud of Black Lives Matter, and how they manage their tens of millions of dollars in donations??? Isn’t it racist, for him to delete Black Lives Matter from his site???

Fetterman and Durham would definitely win the least photogenic contest.

Are you sure that's Fetterman's picture? I think I saw that guy hanging off a garbage truck at the landfill.

‘Senator Fetterman. Get used to it.’

I wouldn’t write that in stone; yeah, probably, but there are always October surprises...

Black lives DO matter, just not to BLM, unless those lives belong to criminals killed by cops or whites.
