Rob Schmitt didn’t mince words when he called out Black Lives Matter and the woke apparatus that shields it, arguing the movement was “all cultural Marxism” from the start. His segment laid out what many patriots have suspected for years: the philosophies animating these groups aren’t accidental or benign, they’re ideological and intentional.
That suspicion isn’t based on hearsay. Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors openly said in a 2015 interview that she and fellow organizers were “trained Marxists,” a plain admission that the movement’s architects studied and embraced revolutionary ideology. Conservatives have been warning about this for years; seeing those words on tape should end the charade that BLM is merely a grassroots plea for justice.
When leaders admit they are steeped in Marxist theory, it explains the organization’s tactics and the broader leftward push in our institutions. The fallout from the summer of 2020 — massive fundraising and the rapid institutional tilt toward “equity” programs — must be viewed through that ideological lens rather than with the media’s usual sympathetic shrug. The country deserves honest debate, not excuses for radical social engineering.
The media and many in the political class have worked overtime to sanitize these origins, treating ideology like a detail instead of the driving force it is. Rob Schmitt’s blunt framing cuts through that coyness: if an organization’s founders call themselves Marxists, that matters for policy, schools, and public life. Pretending these are merely “social justice reforms” is a deliberate dodge to avoid scrutiny.
Senator Schmitt and other conservatives are now rightly pushing to root out DEI and other woke doctrines that mirror that Marxist frame, arguing that merit and unity should replace division and grievance. This is not about silencing legitimate grievances; it’s about rejecting an agenda that classifies citizens as oppressors or victims by design. Restoring common-sense principles in schools, workplaces, and government means refusing to import foreign ideologies that seek to tear the nation apart.
Patriots who love this country should not be intimidated by the left’s campaign of character assassination and institutional capture. We must expose the ideology, demand transparency about what organizations teach and fund, and insist on policies that put Americans first rather than serving as Trojan horses for cultural Marxism. America’s future depends on defending free speech, individual dignity, and the shared values that have always made this nation exceptional.
