Hannity And Bongino Link Colorado Shooting Massacre To Black Lives Matter Protests


By Zoë Richards | March 23, 2021 9:14 a.m.

Fox News host Sean Hannity seized on the mass shooting at a Colorado supermarket on Monday to undermine protests last summer that raised a banner for racial justice.

“Obviously very scary, horrific shooting in Boulder,” Hannity said, hours after at least ten people including a police officer, were killed on Monday in an attack at a grocery store in Boulder, Colorado, according to authorities.

But the horror of the deadly Colorado shooting, which came just days after a suspected Georgia man shot and killed 8 people, including 6 women of Asian-descent in Atlanta-run spas, quickly turned to an attack on protests from last summer opposing police brutality that Republicans have claimed as a diversion tactic to avoid addressing a fresh wave of calls for gun reform.

“You know, we’re often reminded and then we forget. Remember, ‘What do we want? Dead cops. When do we want them, now. Pigs in a blanket. Fry them like bacon.’ Bottles, rocks, bricks, molotov cocktails. They’re not riots we were told all summer to over 2,500 cops injured but these are the cops that go put themselves in harms way and in this case we lost one tonight,” Hannity said.
