Pennsylvania Democratic Senate nominee John Fetterman said at one point during his political career that he holds a "Black Lives Matter kind of worldview" and appeared to insist that crime rates in major cities are tied to how much they "don't embrace" the movement, calling the notion "common sense."
Fetterman's remarks, offered during an interview with The Pitt News in August 2016, came during his tenure as Braddock mayor after he failed to garner his party's nomination for the Senate earlier that year.
"Let me take issue with the anti-establishment," Fetterman said. "I never positioned myself as anti-establishment. In fact, I was the only elected official in my race, I point out. Katie McGinty never held elected office and [Joe] Sestak’s only elected office was a term, I believe, in Congress before he started running. So this idea that I was anti-establishment – I just ran on what I felt were important, common sense issues whether that was a living wage, marijuana legalization, a Black Lives Matter kind of worldview, but also a community policing."
Fetterman, who said at the time that he did not consider his position on various issues to be "radical," claimed it's "common sense" that cities that "don't embrace" the Black Lives Matter movement have higher crime rates.

Pennsylvania Ping!
Please ping me with articles of interest.
FReepmail me to be added to the list.
He is a poorly educated Leftist Marxist. Of COURSE he is going to think BLM Burning, Looting, and Murdering is “common sense”.
Lenin on Roids.
He seems to be a slob all the way through.
Didn’t he aim a shotgun at BLM?
So Fetterman’s “common sense” means using the excuse of a white cop justifiably shooting a black perp, in order to set fires, riot, loot, and destroy public property, but specifically ignore, say nothing, and do nothing when a black person murders another black person of any age.
So let’s get this straight... He believed the “hands up don’t shoot” garbage that the cops go out and routinely shoot black people with their hands high over their heads? That kind of poisonous and wrong ‘world view’?
Okay Jack, own it.
Fetterman knows Pennsylvania democrats are dumb enough to vote for him. I’m voting for Oz. Get your yard signs out.
Does he also support embezzling millions of dollars in donations?
Lowlife. With me, you don’t come back from saying something like that, Fetterman.
You’re off my Hallmark Christmas card list.
Permanently.
