Throughout last summer, Americans witnessed widespread
rioting and looting many BLM demonstrations caused across the country. Now, New
York Times columnist Paul Krugman is arguing that all that destruction was just
something Republicans "believe."
Krugman made the comment in a series of tweets
criticizing Republicans for being most concerned about illegal immigration and
the deficit, according to a Pew study.
"You might think that it would be hard to obsess
over the deficit when it was actually Trump who blew the deficit up, to zero
complaints from his party," Krugman tweeted. "But that would be
assuming that R voters know about that, or would even be willing to hear
it."
"In reality, given that GOP supporters believe that
rampaging mobs burned and looted major cities — somehow without the people
actually living in those cities noticing — getting them to see facts about
something as abstract as the deficit is a hopeless cause," Krugman
continued.
He also said in a separate thread that “BLM may have been
the best-behaved protest movement in history,” claiming there were only a small
number of bad actors.
In reality, the violent demonstrations caused up to $2 billion in property damage and resulted in 18
deaths, according to Fox News.
Critics hit back at Krugman's suggestion.
