A Black Lives Matter founder expressed fear when a reporter spoke to the security man guarding her $1.4 million California mansion.
Daily Wire host Candace Owens spoke through an intercom to a security guard at one of the four properties Patrisse Cullors reportedly purchased with BLM money. The guard reportedly did not respond to requests by Owens to speak to whoever was at the BLM’s Topanga Valley property.
“I am pre-releasing the footage of me showing up at one of Black Lives Matter founder’s, Patrisse Cullors, multiple mansions,” commented Owens in a Friday afternoon post to her verified Twitter account. “Remember she fake cried and said I harassed her? LIAR. I kindly spoke to a white security guard (who remained silent) through a gate.” Her caption appeared above a video clip that conveyed her soft approach and Cullors’ faux distress.
Owens speaks calmly and politely in the video segments published, which diametrically opposes statements made by Cullors in the video.
“I really need my family to be safe,” cried Cullors. “I need to be safe. I need my child to be safe, and what happened this morning is not safety.”
Cullors accused the Wire of setting a dangerous precedent and alleged it was trying to divide Black Americans. Since she did not appear to meet with Owens, it is possible Cullors is not aware that Owens is a Black woman.
“It’s unacceptable and it’s dangerous for anybody, any stranger, to come outside of my house,” Cullors said.
Watch:
BLM grew in stature, and money poured in after George Floyd died at the hands of police. Protests around the country often turned into riots that saw building and vehicles set afire or looted. The movement received an estimated $90 million in donations from outraged Americans.
“We need to defund police and we need to take those resources and put them back into our communities so that we have access to healthy food, we have access to adequate health care, we have access to adequate public health system,” Cullors said, according to a June 1, 2020, report by ABC News.
According to a New York Post report, the BLM co-founder has been on a property buying spree. She and her wife reportedly purchased two California homes in 2016 and a custom ranch in Georgia. The $1.4 million mansion she lives in now, which is a short drive from Malibu, was just purchased last month, the report noted.
