Aw, somebody misses the spotlight. Michelle Obama, former first lady and current attention-seeking media damsel (I wanted to write a different insult), released a video wherein she passed off some opinions as facts. She can do that, she knows media will support her like a Tempur-Pedic mattress. In the video below, Michelle Obama accuses Donald Trump of being racist for pinning the violence of Black Lives Matter on Black Lives Matter. The nerve of that little man. Mrs. O is taking the "But they're mostly peaceful protesters" route to engage in a wee bit of gaslighting, says I.

"Research backs it up, only a tiny fraction has had any violence at all." I'm not sure what research Michelle is referring to, but again, she's a liberal and she's got the media snuggly fitted in her back pocket. Independent fact-checkers will run to defender her faster than Barack can say "you didn't build that."
Now to be fair, a lot of the "mostly peaceful protests" which involve acts other than peaceful hugs are a confluence of Antifa, Black Lives Matter, and what seems to be a lot of angry, privileged white people who need attention. It really is hard to keep track of what movement is breaking what building, or what cause is leading to the destruction of which city. But to say a tiny fraction of these recent "peaceful protests" are violent is a stretch. As an example, here is just "a tiny fraction" of stories this site alone has covered:
- Peaceful Black Lives Matter Protestors Attack and Terrorize Restaurant Goers
- Two Black Lives Matter Protesters Declare Open Season on Cops
- Black Lives Matter Assaults Wisconsin Business Owner
- Black Lives Matter Says They're Coming for Your Homes Now
- Peaceful Black Lives Matter Protester Points Gun at Reporter
Just maybe.
