Leaked Memo Tells Democrats How to Deal with Black Lives Matter

HeadlineSep 01, 2016

In more campaign news, a leaked memo from 2015 shows a Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee staffer instructing Democratic candidates on how to deal with Black Lives Matter activists. The memo calls Black Lives Matter a “radical movement” and tells candidates, “Don’t offer support for concrete policy positions.” The memo was posted online by Guccifer 2.0, a hacker who has claimed to be behind the hack of 20,000 DNC emails that were leaked by WikiLeaks in July. Guccifer 2.0 says the memo came from House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi’s personal computer. Pelosi’s office has not commented on the memo.
