25. Maybe the NEW Generation Needs to MLK it so they CAN'T say it's violent.

IF they had simply stayed back 10 feet from her and kept up the chants and not banged on the door, or sat on the floor as they chanted to show it was a peaceful, but determined response, no one could have objected.

It's like not buying goods sold by people who support tRump.

Turing Point USA invited her to speak.

THEY financially and politically support tRump, spread the BIG Election Lie and misinformation about COVID.

SHE started out as an ultra-conservative commentator for The Blaze, Glenn Beck's multi-platform network, 24-year-old Lahren's viewership primarily comes from Facebook. Think of her as a millennial Ann Coulter.

SHE IS SO millennial and protected, she REALLY DOES NOT KNOW what the KKK did that was so bad.
