Get the latest BPR news delivered free to your inbox daily.Despite the nation being rocked by riots instigated by , after one particularly devastating riot last weekend in the Virginia capital of Richmond, Mayor Levar Stoney, a Democrat, blamed the destruction on white supremacists.“There were white supremacists marching under the banner of Black Lives Matter, attempting to undermine an otherwise overwhelmingly peaceful movement towards social justice,” he reportedly at a press conference Sunday.While one would usually be laughed out of a room for positing such an outrageous claim,&nbsp;Stoney reportedly wound up receiving backing from local police. As a result, the claim wound up going mega-viral among the left.Look:Richmond Police: Richmond riots instigated by white supremacists disguised as Black Lives MatterI won’t hold my breath for Trump or the GOP to call out these white supremacist terrorists &amp; apologize to BLM— Qasim Rashid for Congress (@QasimRashid)White supremacists posing as BLM protesters instigated Richmond riots: Police— Raw Story (@RawStory)‘White supremacists’ arrested while trying to amplify protest violence, Richmond mayor says— Daily Kos (@dailykos)Share this with the next moron who says peaceful Black Lives Matter protesters are the problem.— Joe Madison (@MadisonSiriusXM)What far-left radio show host Joe Madison neglected to consider when he posted the rude tweet above was that neither&nbsp;Stoney nor his police have shared a shred of evidence to back up their outlandish allegation. In fact, the actual evidence seems to show the exact opposite of what the mayor has alleged.Observe:Police say the violent Richmond riots were instigated by white supremacists.Madeleine Conger, aka “Molly Conger” or , a 30-year-old from Charlottesville, was arrested &amp; charged. Conger is a communist activist &amp; writer.— Andy Ngô (@MrAndyNgo)Mitchell Shue, 26, and Taylor Maloney, 20, were arrested &amp; charged at the Richmond, Va. antifa/BLM riot.— Andy Ngô (@MrAndyNgo)Lila-Jad Koumtakoun, 22, &amp; Elsi Del Pino, 25, were arrested &amp; charged at the Richmond, Va. antifa/BLM riot. Koumtakoun is accused of using a false ID to try and fool police.— Andy Ngô (@MrAndyNgo)Dexter Superville, 21, was charged w/rioting &amp; possession with intent to deliver crack cocaine.Mekdas Charles, 21, arrested &amp; charged w/tresspassing. say the violence at the Richmond, Va. antifa/BLM riot was instigated by “white supremacists.”— Andy Ngô (@MrAndyNgo)., can you clarify what you meant when you said those at the riots over the weekend are white supremacists pretending to be BLM? Based on people you arrested, the known political views are extreme far-left, e.g., communist activist .— Andy Ngô (@MrAndyNgo)The men and women pictured above do not appear to be white supremacists …But it’s not just journalists like Andy Ngo, who’s been accused of being a “right-winger,” who’ve pointed out the lack of evidence. So has even Jared Holt, a far-left propagandist affiliated with the smear merchant website Right Wing Watch.“On Tuesday, I asked Richmond Police and the Richmond Mayor’s office to provide information to support the claims they made to this outlet that white supremacists instigated riots in their city.&nbsp;They have not responded to my request,” he tweeted Thursday afternoon.And as noted by centrist commentator Tim Pool, if even a far-left propagandist like Holt is skeptical of&nbsp;Stoney’s claim, that means something:If there is any outlet I would trust making this statement its Right Wing WatchIf Jared is saying they don’t have evidence, then that’s about as definitive as you can get in my opinion— Tim Pool (@Timcast)Pool’s claim is based on Holt’s history of conservatives.The Virginia Mercury has also not been able to obtain any answers.“Early Tuesday afternoon, The Virginia Mercury asked officials to clarify the basis for the mayor’s comments. As of Wednesday evening, neither the Richmond Police Department nor the mayor’s office had provided additional evidence of white supremacist influence,” the outlet Thursday.The paper added that the “confusion” may stem from “an unlikely alliance” between a subset of the larger Black Lives Matter movement and a single member of the allegedly “far-right” named&nbsp;Mike Dunn.However, Dunn “insists he is not a white supremacist” and claims that he and the BLM subset “left the protest before it turned raucous.”Nevertheless, Stoney’s camp remains unwilling to budge from its dubious claim.“Based on police intelligence, the mayor believes the boogaloos and the alt-right played a role in influencing and inciting the events that unfolded Saturday night,” his spokesperson told the outlet.“This does not preclude the known involvement of Antifa and other protesters from inside and outside of the city whom police and the mayor believe also played a role.”According to The Virginia Mercury, the riot was promoted beforehand via “an online flier of unknown origin that billed the evening as a show of solidarity with Portland, where protesters have clashed with federal agents dispatched to protect a federal courthouse.”“A portion of the flier, which police said originated outside Richmond, read: ‘NO PEACE POLICE. DO WHAT YOU WANT. F**K S**T UP,'” the outlet reported.That sounds no different from the rhetoric spouted by left-wing extremists in other cities, including Denver, Colorado, where conservative commentator Michelle Malkin earlier this month.Look (*Language warning):Hi My pro-police friends beaten. 76 officers injured. 3 ppl shot at homeless/mob camp. Now barbarians who trashed Denver Capitol are going to finish it off tonight. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO ABOUT IT? STAND DOWN AGAIN?— Michelle Malkin (@michellemalkin)“By sharing, attending and leading the march, the Mayor and Chief believe the boogaloos share responsibility for the violence that took place that evening,” Stoney’s spokesperson reportedly added.Of course, he provided no evidence for the claim, nor did he seem aware that it’s BLM and Antifa that have a , not the allegedly “far-right” Boogaloo movement.Please help us!
