Rand Paul: #BlackLivesMatter Should Maybe Change Name to #InnocentLivesMatter

On Fox News last night, Rand Paul told Sean Hannity that #BlackLivesMatter needs to change its name to either #AllLivesMatter or #InnocentLivesMatter.

Hannity and Paul talked about how the national activist group has focused a bit more recently on Paul for not focusing enough on their issues (though as Hannity pointed out, Paul’s probably been the GOP candidate most willing to engage with black communities and talk about their issues).

Paul said their name should change, implying it’s too divisive, and saying “commandeering the microphone and bullying people and pushing them out of the way” doesn’t help anything.
