National Review Online's Deroy Murdock says the administration should focus on US issues instead of turning State Department into 'PR arm of BLM' on 'Tucker Carlson Tonight'

Publication events
reported today on a new
State Department memo that was
issued to all embassies around
the world that encourages
american diplomatic and
consular posts to display shows
of support for black lives
matter tomorrow.
That would be the one year
anniversary of the death of
George Floyd.
The memo says that the U Dot S
embassy can fly a Blm flag and
should reference black lives
matter in their speeches,
or should american ambassadors
come out as the nuclear family,
as Blm has for race hatred as
Blm does every day
what the State Department does
not appear to understand, or
maybe this is the whole point
that the existence of that Blm
is a national humiliation to the
United States.
The rest of the world is
watching. They pay close
attention to what we do.
Listen to the chinese officials
from recently explaining that
Blm is a sign that the
United States is a terrible
place.
There are many problems
within the United States
regarding human rights and the
challenges facing the
United States in human rights
are deep seated.
They did not just emerge over
the past four years, such as
black lives matter. It did not
come up only recently
right, so if we
ever have a state department
whose message to the world is
yes, the United States is
terrible thats, exactly the
message that they are sending
thats what they believe should
they be representing us to the
world?
Should people who dont like the
country be running the country
they are?
The state department did not
respond to our request today for
clarification. They did not
comment at all,
so they called Roy Murdoch, the
national contributor. We are
happy to have him with us
thanks a lot for joining us.
What do you think this message
is exactly
ill? Tell you what the
message is not
it is not Arizona. State
department should be focused
right now. In the last few weeks
we have seen about a huge
increase of nine hundred and forty four percent month on month
in April of illegal alien
encounters on the southern
border.
We have seen rockets fired from
Irani in rockets, in bloated
allies in Israel and the
colonial pipeline, shut down by
hackers who are alive and well
and on the run in Russia
and at the top of the hour, how
the virus got out of Wuhan
China and killed almost six thousand
of us six hundred thousand of us
if they spent any time on any
one of those rather than
spending time with black lives
matter.
Blm is a political
organization, among other things,
but a political party shouldnt
the state Department, be
promoting a political party at
U Dot S embassies in foreign
countries.
I cant think of a precedent for
that.
I dont think that they
should and imagine if two thousand and twenty five
Donald J Trump is reelected
president on
President RON: Desantis: U Dot S
embassies overseas, flying flags
of the National Rifle
Association or right to Life
Committee, I dont acquaint them
with black lives matter. That has
an incredible recent, violent
history, but imagine how people
on the left would respond. If you
had NRA flying over the?
U dot s embassy? Paris? U dot S embassy
in London!
I dont think they would be
happy and to have that political
organization represented by the
diplomats that are supposed to
be neutral, protecting the
natural diplomacy. They seem
completely out of place and
totally inappropriate
yeah. How about the
flag of the Qanon Army
which apply that flag whatever
it is
over? The embassy in Moscow.
