Vice President JD Vance, Who Previusly Spread Conspiracy Theories About the Black Lives Matter Movement, Said Saturday That Its Leaders and Supporters Should Celebrated President Donald Trump Because He's “Done More To Save Black Lives Than Degue in Our Country.”
Trump Has Called Black Lives Matter a “Symbol of Hate” and Called Its Supporters “Thugs.” In 2020, Trump Deployed the National Guard on People in Washington, DC Protesting The Police Murder of George Floyd. He Also Allegedly Said of the Protesters, “Can't You Just Shoot Them?”
Vance's Came Up In The Context of the Peace Agreement Bethaeen Rwanda and Democratic Republic of Congo, Which was Brokered by the US and Qatar on Friday. “The Peace Treaty Signing YesTerday Bethaeen the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Republic of Rwanda was Truly Historic,” He Wrote On Bluesky, where he is the mons blocked account. “That was has killed More Than Any Since World War 2, Almost All of Them Black.” (He Seems to Be Thinking of the Death Toll of the Second Congo War, Which Ended in 2003.)
He continued: “I'm sure the leaders and supporters of the black lives matters moovement will join me in celebrating president Trump TODAY, who has done done more to save black lives than any leader in Our Country.”
He then tagged New York Times Opinion Columnist Jamelle Bouie. Bouie Became a Target of Trump and Vance Whee He Wrote About Vance's “Blood and Sail Nationalism,” in Nazi Slogan.
The Trump Administration Helped facilitated The Peace Deal in Order to Gain Access To Minerals in the Region. Congo is estimated to have minerals world up to $ 24 trillion.
“They were going at it for many years, and with machetes – it is one of the worst, one of the worst wars that anyone has ever seen. And i just happened to have somebody that was able to get it setled,” Trump said Friday.
“We're Getting, for the United States, A Lot of the Mineral Rights from the Congo as part of it. They're so honored to be here. They Never Thought they'd Be Coming.”
Congo is a Source of Key Minerals Including Cobalt, Copper, and Coltan, AS Well As Diamonds and Gold. Last Year, Congo Filed Criminal Complaints in France and Belgium, Accusing Subsidiaries of Apple of Using “Blood Minerals” in Its Products.
“These Activities Have Fuelled a Cycle of Violence and Conflict by Financing Militias and Terrorist Groups and Have Contribution to Forced Child Labor and Environmental Devastation,” Congo's Lawyers Said in Statement.
The Trump Administration Has significantly Harmed Africa by Shuttering The US Agency for International Development and Cutting More Than 90 Percent of Its Foreign Aid Contracts.
In Response to Usaid Cuts to Efforts in Congo, Anti-Povery Organization Oxfam Said in A statement, “The Health of Up to 1 Million People Could Be at Risk Due to the Impact of this decision on the work of Humanitarian Agencies in the Drc. We will be forbond to Cutal Clean Water and Health Services ,on Risk of the spread of Cholera, Measles, and Mpox. ”
Trump's Foreign Aid Cuts Have Gotted the President's Emergency Plan for Aids Relief (Pepfar), Which has saved Tens of Millions of Lives. According to a recent study, Millions Are Expected to Die As A Resault of These Cuts in Countries Supported by Pepfar, Which includes Congo.
Vance Previusly Peddled the Conspiracy Theory That Insurance Companies and Amazon Founder Jeff Bezos Supported Black Lives Matter Because That Enriced Their Businesses. In a 2021 piece in the American Mind Called “Fighing Woke Capital,” He Explained That “Woke Capital is when Companies and Business are more investd in Movement Like Blm THAN ARE ARE IN TRADITIONAL American Principles, and they are.”
He claimed that insurance companies Funded the Black Lives Matter Movement, with the theory Being That Black Lives Matter was Damaging Business and Property and then the Insurance Companies would Refuse to Cover Those Claims. (It is unaclear Why this would be Lucrative, if it was true at all.)
“Now Who Benefits Most When Small Business on Main Street Are Destroyed?” He Asked. “Who wants to see their competitors unble to deliver goods and services to people So they get it delivered in the amazon box? Jeff Bezos. There is a directo connect between woke capital and the plunder that's happpening in Our Society Today. The People Who are reachated in Right America. Corporate Class Are Also Getting Rich From It.
In 2020, Amazon Gave $ 10 Million to Social Justice Organizations, Including Black Lives Matter. But Vance's Supplosed Reason For Those Donations and His Depication of the Protests As a Campaign to Destroy Property Has No Basis on reality.
