Republican presidential contenders have consistently chosen to dismiss and misrepresent the Black Lives Matter movement.
Donald Trump has resorted to unfounded smears.
“I think they’re trouble,” he said in an interview on Fox News, and then implied that any movement dedicated to police reform was by nature a hate group.
Other GOP presidential candidates have also been disdainful. Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker claims he doesn’t have time to address the concerns of Black Lives Matter activists, while Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul refuses to acknowledge the movement’s name.
