Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) took to Twitter on Friday to ask a very valid question: “Why would BLM pay bail for the alleged shooter who targeted a Jewish mayoral candidate?”
Why would BLM pay bail for the alleged shooter who targeted a Jewish mayoral candidate?

Blackburn is referring to Quintez Brown, a man charged with shooting at Louisville mayoral candidate Craig Greenberg. “BLM Louisville reportedly delivered the Louisville Community Bail Fund’s check posting Brown’s bail on Wednesday, a day after reports that Brown had allegedly tried to assassinate Greenberg at the candidate’s campaign headquarters in the Butchertown area of Louisville, Kentucky,” Fox News reports.
“Quintez’s bail was posted Wednesday afternoon, with the individual paying the bail wearing a ‘Free Angela Davis’ shirt — referencing the activist and former Communist Party USA member,” Fox added.
Reporter Rachel Droze shared the video of the bail being delivered:
“The $100,000 cashiers check has been officially given to the clerks office to pay for @BLMLouisville activist Quintez Brown’s release. @LouCommBailFund is paying. Brown is accused of shooting at Louisville mayoral candidate @RunWithCraig.”
