Wednesday during an appearance on Fox News Channel’s “The Ingraham Angle,” Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA), who is in an election fight for her U.S. Senate seat, pushed back against Black Lives Matter (BLM) in the wake of announcing her opposition to the WNBA’s decision honor BLM on the grounds it sends a message of exclusion.
Loffler, who owns a stake in the Atlanta Dream WNBA franchise, argued the league should not honor the controversial political movement.
“I adamantly oppose the Black Lives Matter political movement, which has advocated for the defunding of police, called for the removal of Jesus from churches and the disruption of the nuclear family structure, harbored anti-Semitic views, and promoted violence and destruction across the country,” she said in a statement earlier this week.
