BLM Co-Founder Appears To Violate IRS Laws On CNN

Federalist: A co-founder of the Black Lives Matter Global Network weighed in on the 2020 election, in an apparent violation of Internal Revenue Service laws prohibiting 501(c)(3) organizations from engaging in campaign activity.

Patrisse Cullors, in her official capacity as a co-founder of the BLM Global Network, told CNN on June 19 that “our goal is to get Trump out.”

“Trump not only needs to not be in office in November but he should resign now,” she insisted. “Trump needs to be out of office. He is not fit for office.”

According to the IRS, a 501(c)(3) organization “may not participate in any campaign activity for or against political candidates.”

The prohibition includes “public statements of position (verbal or written) made on behalf of the organization in favor of or in opposition to any candidate for public office.” Organizations that violate this policy may lose their tax-exempt status.

The donation page for BLM is linked with ActBlue Charities, the 501(c)(3) wing of the Democratic political action committee ActBlue. MORE

  1. It is the establishment Republicans who will ensure that their progressive buddies don’t face any consequences.

    progressives are progressives first, last and always. The establishment Republicans are closet progressives. They have their public persona and they have their private persona. It is not unlike the gay spectrum. You have your out and proud progressives, in the case of politics that would be the Democrats. And you have your closet progressives, that would be the establishment Republicans.

    The establishment Republicans are out in front of the conservatives as Mr Straighty Straight Straight, yet in the privacy of the political bathhouse they are dropping their pants and grabbing their ankles.

    Think Paul Ryan and what he was doing the first two years of Trump’s first term.

    Oh, they may wag their finger and talk about how this is such a violation in public, but as soon as they are out of the public eye the establishment Republicans are giving the Democrats that come hither look.

    Don’t waste your time hoping.

    We had a conservative President who trie to close ALL “loopholes” (an admitted conservative negative term. Libs say “exclusions + deductions”) 501 included.
    Maybe now you can see that he was right!
