Civil rights attorney and talk radio host Leo Terrell slammed the Black Lives Matter organization and called for corporations to stop pouring millions of dollars into funding it.
Terrell dismissed the movement as “a joke” during a discussion on Fox News’ “Hannity” as he tore into the hypocrisy and lack of actual concern for the black community by the organization that has gained widespread attention and support in the wake of the death of George Floyd.

“I’m so sick of all the shooting, the killing and the lawlessness and I’ve got to call out Black Lives. They are a joke. If they really care about the black lives, what about Chicago?” Terrell asked on Monday, referring to the high number of gun violence victims in the city over a single weekend.
“I submit to you, Black Lives is nothing more than a profiteer,” Terrell told Fox News host Sean Hannity.
“If it does not involve a police officer, they don’t care about those black lives. Reverend Al won’t get on his private jet and speak at that girl’s funeral,” he added, calling out Al Sharpton, whom he also targeted in several tweets.
Al Sharpton: Are you going to preach at the funeral of the three year old black girl killed in #Chicago? Or does it depends on how much you get paid and how many television cameras are present? @FoxNews @TheRevAl @seanhannity @real_jamielshaw @realDonaldTrump

“These corporations, stop giving money to Black Lives! They don’t care about the lives that are being lost right now. It is a sham organization. Nothing more, nothing less, and they are a funnel group for extremists on the left,” Terrell exclaimed.
Hannity interjected to clarify that the civil rights attorney was speaking about the Black Lives Matter movement, and not generally speaking of protesters.
“Every life matters,” Terrell agreed.
Corporations stop giving millions of dollars to #BlackLivesMattters . It is a shakedown organization with no interest in improving the lives of Black Americans. @FoxNews @seanhannity @realDonaldTrump

Radio host David Webb jumped in to drive home the point about funding for the organization.
“Here’s the shakedown in this, Sean. $1.6 billion plus that’s been pledged to Black Lives Matter in some foundation or otherwise. Where’s the money going? Where does it end up?” the Sirius XM radio and Fox Nation host asked. “Leo is right. It is a shakedown and a sham.”
Actor Robert Davi brought up the same points in a tweet asking Hannity to address “What is BLM really funding?”
Great point by the GREAT @TheLeoTerrell BUT YOU MISSED IT @seanhannity HE WAS SERVING THE SCAM ON A PLATE TO YOU – why are the American people not being told the truth – FEAR OF REPERCUSSIONS??? Fellow the billions !!!!! What is BLM really funding, SEAN ??? Tell the folks

Terrell, who recently said he stopped drinking the “Democratic kool-aid” and urged Democrats to leave the Party, continued to tear into the Black Lives Matter organization, noting the weekend’s staggering numbers in Chicago.
Attention Black Lives Matter. During Father Day weekend in Chicago, 103 people were shot, 14 killed, including a three year old Black girl. Do you care about black on black crime, including murder? I dont think so! @FoxNews @seanhannity @TheRevAl @realDonaldTrump

Over Father’s Day weekend, the Illinois city saw 104 people shot, 14 fatally – including five children.
#GunFreeZone Chicago would be better off if it were a #DemocratFreeZone // 104 people shot in one weekend! These Democrat-run cities are becoming unliveable hell holes. https://t.co/KLQniCoEgz

Terrell slammed the hypocrisy of the BLM movement and targeted Sharpton once again in another tweet.
#BlackLivesMatter and @TheRevAl do not care about Black police officers who give their lives to protect and serve the Public. For example #DavidDorn. Let me be clear: I do NOT support #BlackLivesMatter @seanhannity @BLMLA @FoxNews. I oppose defunding the police

There was plenty of praise for his outspoken remarks on Twitter.
OMG! I love you @TheLeoTerrell for being bluntly honest with these hypocrites who only serve their wallets and advance their masters’ politics!

#Hannity @TheLeoTerrell just said BLM doesn’t care about black lives matters! TRUTH!!! They are a Marxist group who funnels money to the @DNC

Thank you Leo for stepping up; I’d be privileged to stand with you arm in arm in the continuing fight for full civil rights for ALL.

Just saw your segment @TheLeoTerrell and I couldn’t agree more! Fiery passion in your argument🔥I loved it! Much respect. Another excellent point was where is the money being donated going to? Excellent questions being asked and great points made tonight 🙏👍

Absolutely spot on Leo tonight on Hannity. So proud of your stand. We can help the communities rather than the so called Black Lives Matter. They don’t care for the innocent people. Only there agenda. Hopefully the viewers will listen to you. I KNOW I WILL !
