Black Lives Matter Greater New York co-founder Hawk Newsome said Thursday on FNC’s “American Newsroom” that New York City Eric Adams was a “coon.”
In a clip from Spectrum News NY1, Adams said, “Where are all those who stated Black Lives Matter? If Black lives matters, then the thousands of people I saw on the street when Floyd was murdered should be on the street right now stating that the lives of these Black children that are dying every night matters.”
Co-host Bill Hemmer said, “The subject is African-Americans. I would also argue White lives matter, too. Everybody’s life matters here. What the mayor contends, though, is that the same reaction is not given. What would you say to him?”
