Elisabeth Hasselbeck Labels Black Lives Matter As Hate Group?

Former co-host for The View, and current Fox & Friends personality, Elisabeth Hasselbeck is no stranger to upsetting the left – or Rosie O'Donnell – but during a recent segment on the latter she questioned why the Black Lives Matter movement has not yet been labeled as a hate group. And, well, naturally people didn't like that.

While speaking with The Black Sphere commentator Kevin Jackson, Hasselbeck discussed the recent killing of a white officer in Texas as well as Minnesota's Black Lives Matter protest that occurred over the weekend.

"Kevin, why has the Black Lives movement, the Black Lives Matter movement, not been classified yet as a hate group?" she asked.

Jackson kicked off his segment calling Friday's event of the execution-like murder a "stain on the nation" and further claimed that the Black Lives Matter movement is nothing but "nonsense" in his opinion and will ultimately backfire. Which is when Hasselbeck asked about the movement being labeled as a hate group.

She further added, "How much more has to go in this direction before someone has to label it as such?"

And while Yahoo! notes that the movement is "decentralized" and calling it a hate group would be "dubious at best," it seems Jackson doesn't necessarily disagree with Hasselbeck's questioning of the group, saying that it indeed is a hate group but says that it is being funded by the left and people who have no concern for actual black lives.

So, Hasselbeck basically equated Black Lives Matter to that of the KKK and other racially-charged groups. Thoughts? We know Rosie O'Donnell is pissed...
