Fox News correspondent Brit Hume criticized Black Lives Matter during a Tuesday night “Tucker Carlson Tonight” analysis segment.

“Let’s be clear about what the Black Lives Matter movement stands for,” Hume told Fox News host Tucker Carlson. “It isn’t about protecting or saving black lives. It’s about protecting and saving some black lives. Which is to say, it’s a number that is dwarfed by those who are lost in the kind of urban violence that you describe in Chicago, New York and other cities.”

Chicago in particular has experienced a surge in gun violence the past several weeks, with 320 homicides in 2020 alone, including six children shot and killed in just one week.

“So let’s put aside the idea that Black Lives Matter is really about black lives matter in any meaningful sense,” Hume said, adding that the spate of seemingly random statue removals have been a “reflection of the ignorance of the people who are doing it.”

“But these things are not actions in any meaningful sense, these are just gestures,” he said. “And the reason they are just gestures is that that is all they’ve got.”

Hume noted that the sole “substantive position” the movement has is defunding police, which would hurt “blacks and other poor people who live in these crime-ridden neighborhoods.”

Have made it a point and habit to watch the first 15 minutes of Tucker Carlson nightly, no matter what else is on. 
I display the Confederate Battle Flag in honor of my great great great grandfathers who spilled blood at Wilson's Creek and Shiloh.  5 others served in the WBTS with honor too.

Same here. Every monologue of his is epic.

"The most terrifying force of death, comes from the hands of Men who wanted to be left Alone. They try, so very hard, to mind their own business and provide for themselves and those they love. They resist every impulse to fight back, knowing the forced and permanent change of life that will come from it. They know, that the moment they fight back, their lives as they have lived them, are over. -Alexander Solzhenitsyn

TC is one of the very few television pundits worth watching.  (I consume all my news via the written word).  But Carlson is consistently brilliant.
