City Official Who Criticized Black Lives Matter, Coronavirus Measures Resigns

A local public official in northwestern Massachusetts has resigned from the city council and school committee because of backlash after he criticized Black Lives Matter and the coronavirus shutdowns.

Robert Moulton Jr., of North Adams, made the comments Tuesday, July 21 during his local cable access television called Let’s Talk About It.

He resigned from his local government offices Monday, July 27, according to The Berkshire Eagle. That was one day before the North Adams City Council planned to consider an 886-word resolution censuring Moulton for what he said.

A local Black Lives Matter organizer had previously said his group would protest at city council meetings until Moulton left the council. Black Lives Matter supporters held a demonstration in North Adams this past weekend, according to a Facebook post:

Speech isn't free in North Adams, Massachusetts.

It's not so much about Free speech as it is the good sense to keep your mouth shut. There is noting credible about beliefs and opinions. Go tell it on the Mountain.

Black Lives Matter should not only be criticized, it should be outlawed. they are a front for the DNC fund raising and a terrorist group.

I guess nobody wanted to talk about it, so they killed the messenger.

BLM

Gen'rals gathered in their masses,
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction,
Sorcerer of death's construction
In the fields the bodies burning,
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind,
Poisoning their brainwashed minds
