Patrisse Cullors, the co-founder of Black Lives Matter and self-described Marxist recently purchased an estate in California worth over a million dollars. She reportedly surrounded her property with a fence, including an electric gate.
In other words, a wall. You could not make this up.
My Legal Insurrection colleague Samantha Mandeles wrote a comprehensive report on Cullors. It is a must-read.
Cullors resigned her position after her wealth surfaced in the media. She declared that any notice of her riches was essentially racist.
This new development is just as fascinating. Walls are no longer racist or xenophobic.
Morgan Phillips reports at FOX News:
BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors erects fencing and electric gate around her new $1.4M home: reportBlack Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors has reportedly put up a fence and electric gate around her $1.4 million home in Los Angeles.Cullors, 37, closed on the 2,380 square-foot, three-bedroom, three-bath home in March.Cullors stepped down from her role as executive director of the group’s central foundation last month amid questions about her finances, though she denied those attacks had any role in her leaving.Cullors’ finances drew attention in April after the New York Post reported she had purchased four homes for $3.2 million. The report prompted Hawk Newsome, the head of Black Lives Matter Greater New York City, to call for an “independent investigation” into the foundation’s finances. The two organizations are not affiliated.Critics have pointed out that Cullors bought the high-end homes despite referring to herself as a “trained Marxist” in the past.
Here’s more from the Daily Mail report by Jill Ishkanian:
EXCLUSIVE: Build that wall! BLM co-founder Patrisse Cullors erects $35,000 fencing and electric gate around her new $1.4M Topanga Canyon home she bought with CASH – following backlash over her $3M property portfolioLast month workers were spotted in the early morning hours trenching mounds of dirt in front of and around the property in preparation for a formidable barrier to wrap around the home.A neighbor who spoke to DailyMail.com revealed a sub-contractor told him they were erecting a wooden fence to surround the entire property and that the exterior improvements were in the ‘$35,000 range.”It will have an electronic gate at the driveway portion, a walk up door, and call box, and other safety measures, cameras – you know, to keep the riff raff out,’ he said.
Ah yes, one must keep out the riff-raff. Cullors wouldn’t want an angry mob of protesters screaming at her house through an electric bullhorn.
It looks like a pretty sturdy wall:
Next thing you know, she’ll have armed guards.
