As the mainstream media and leftist politicians rush to sympathize with the alleged murderer of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska, BlazeTV host Jason Whitlock is pointing out how real Americans are feeling — and it’s far from the same way.“As someone that understands the power of social media and that the social media deal drove the entire Black Lives Matter movement, and it’s very influential, that even with this legacy media blackout, this incident I’m calling the death knell for black culture, the image of black Americans,” Whitlock says.“It feels like irrevocable harm to the reputation of black people. Everybody is posting videos. Everybody’s posting stats about black-on-white crime. And none of this should be surprising,” he continues.While Black Lives Matter relied on their “fact” that black men needed to live in fear of being gunned down by white police officers every day, Americans are now waking up and realizing that wasn’t exactly the truth. “At some point, we’re going to show you what black criminals are doing to white people. And there’s far more examples of this than white police officers behaving inappropriately. And there will be far more video showing white police officers defending themselves from aggressive black criminal suspects,” Whitlock says.“And the question I’m asking today, among other things, it’s like the people that supported Black Lives Matter, when are they going to apologize? When are they going to publicly acknowledge that their Black Lives Matter movement has created this backlash that has put black people’s reputation at the lowest point?” he continues.“Our reputation is at the lowest point in American history. And the Black Lives Matter movement created this, created the racial idolatry, and helped drive this new form of racial tribalism,” he says, adding, “a form of tribalism that America was moving away from.”Want more from Jason Whitlock?To enjoy more fearless conversations at the crossroads of culture, faith, sports, and comedy with Jason Whitlock, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.

Climate change activist Greta Thunberg is facing ridicule after a Gaza-bound flotilla she joined claimed to be attacked by a drone before the embarrassing truth came out.Thunberg is a part of the Global Sumud Flotilla on the way to Gaza in an attempt to sail supplies to the war-torn area against the wishes of the Israeli government. There are about 20 boats in the flotilla.'There are ways to deliver aid to the Gaza Strip — they do not involve Instagram selfies.'The flotilla group claimed Tuesday that one of the boats had caught on fire after being attacked by a drone near the Tunisian port of Sidi Bou Said."Last night, I was on the deck on the back part of the ship, and I heard a drone," said flotilla activist Miguel Duarte, who claimed other members witnessed the event. "Two of us stood there with the drone above our head, then we saw the drone move to the forward part of the deck. It stood a few seconds on top of a bunch of life jackets and then dropped a bomb," Duarte continued.Tunisian officials said there was "no basis in truth" for the attack claim and said the fire was likely started by someone aboard the flotilla, possibly from a cigarette. They also said that "no drones have been detected" in the area.Video from the incident led many to believe that one of the flotilla members might have accidentally fired a flare gun and caused the fire himself.The video was posted to social media, where it quickly went viral and garnered over 8 million views.RELATED: Campaign office for Ocasio-Cortez vandalized with far-left message Israel has previously mocked efforts by the activists to break the Gaza blockade."There are ways to deliver aid to the Gaza Strip — they do not involve Instagram selfies," said a spokesperson from the Foreign Ministry for Israel.Like Blaze News?

The murder of Ukrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska has horrified many on social media, but much of the mainstream media has been lambasted for ignoring the terrifying incident that undermines liberal crime narratives.At least one outlet, Axios, ventured to cover the incident, but they are facing outrage for trying to frame the killing in a manner to criticize conservatives. 'It's not journalism. It's partisan propaganda.'"The gruesome video of the fatal knife attack on Iryna Zarutska on a light-rail car in Charlotte is drawing attention from MAGA influencers seeking to elevate the issue of violent urban crime — and accuse mainstream media of under-covering shocking cases," reads the social media post from Axios with a link to their article.They faced immediate backlash."Making the story about the reaction instead of the story is vile and transparent," Minnesota state Rep. Walter Hudson (R) responded. "It's not journalism. It's partisan propaganda," Hudson continued."Axios, in an absolute race to the bottom, becomes one of the first left leaning outlets to write a story about the brutal murder of Iryna Zarutska — and they blame CCTV cameras and conservatives," Club for Growth president David McIntosh replied."You waited almost 3 days to report on it, and when you finally decided to report on it, you use the murder to vilify conservatives. Screw you. This is why everyone hates you," another popular response reads."Thanks for reminding us all that @axios is nothing more than shameless @DNC propaganda," another reply reads.RELATED: Trump DOJ takes action against violent thug accused of savagely murdering Ukrainian refugee On Tuesday, the White House commented on the lack of coverage for the attack and displayed large photos of the victim and the suspect."This is pure evil on full display," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said at a press briefing. "The most enraging and unacceptable part of this story is that her death was entirely preventable. Decarlos Brown never should have been on that train that night."Brown had been arrested for over a dozen other crimes, including armed robbery and larceny convictions before the allegedly random attack on Zarutska on a public bus."Perhaps most shamefully of all, the majority of the media, many outlets in this room, decided that her murder was not worth reporting on originally because it does not fit a preferred narrative," she added.Like Blaze News?

If you’re among those pushing back against the idea of government-run grocery stores being peddled by NYC mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, Bernie Sanders has some words for you.“What a radical idea to say that working-class families should be able to go into a grocery store, in an area where there are food deserts, and be able to afford decent quality food for their children,” Sanders says, before mocking, “Oh man! What a radical guy he is!”BlazeTV host Pat Gray is not amused.“Absolute buffoon!” Gray yells. “This is what they go to, is ‘food deserts.’ They were doing this under Obama, and they’re doing it all over again. All of a sudden, food deserts are back. That was disclaimed and debunked a long time ago.”“In virtually every hamlet of Manhattan, there are grocery stores. There are restaurants. There are plenty of places,” he continues.“Pat Gray Unleashed” co-host Jeffy interjects, “At one time, I don’t know if they’ve been arrested and deported, but at one time, you could get a bicyclist just to bring your food right to you. Fresh food. Right there in Manhattan.”“Manhattan, New York City, that’s not a desert for anything,” executive producer Keith Malinak chimes in. “Anything you want.”“You can get it in moments,” Gray adds.Want more from Pat Gray?To enjoy more of Pat's biting analysis and signature wit as he restores common sense to a senseless world, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.
