McEnany Says BLM Leader Newsome ‘Has a History’ of Threatening Riots

TRANSCRIPT:

MCENANY: "This Hawk Newsome guy has a history of this. This is not the first offense of calling for riots, fire and bloodshed. He says it wasn’t a threat, I totally believe it was. He said it’s a 'natural response to this,' but I don't think it’s very natural to riot and light things on fire. I think it's highly unnatural. Nevertheless, these are some of the things he said. He said — and this was on Fox. He said this — here it is. Sorry, lost my place here. 'If this country doesn’t give us what we want, then we will burn down the system and replace it.' He called for burning down the system, he talked about waging a war on police, he talked about mobilizing a highly trained military arm. This is what this guy has said. And Eric Adams, good for him for standing up to him. He said, you're on the ground, you go fix the problem. Help me out here. Eric Adams is doing a great job even before he gets into office with this. I will surprise our viewers, though, and say I agree with Hawk Newsome on one point. He would not meet with Mayor de Blasio because he called him 'a buffoon.'"
