Elisabeth Hasselbeck is raising eyebrows once again on Fox & Friends, this time asking why the Black Lives Matter movement isn’t classified as a hate group.
Hasselbeck’s comments were part of a discussion of the shooting death of Texas Deputy Darren Goforth at the hands of African American suspect Shannon J. Miles, who targeted the cop because of his uniform.
“I mean, how much more has to go in this direction before someone actually labels it as such?” Hasselbeck asked, The Wrap reports.
Fox & Friends commentator Kevin Jackson agreed with Hasselbeck’s statement, saying there are people who are a part of the movement who “have nothing, really no concern at all about black lives.”
Rosie O’Donnell, who Hasselbeck is known for fighting with on The View, tweeted, “Hasselbeck asked, ‘Kevin, why has the Black Lives Matter movement not been classified yet as a hate group? ...’ some r slow 2 wake.”
The #BlackLivesMatter movement started after the increase in senseless deaths in the African American community with no consequences, mainly after the 2013 acquittal of George Zimmerman in the shooting death of black teen Trayvon Martin.
In July, Hasselbeck got backlash when she suggested Sandra Bland might've attacked her arresting officer with her cigarette.
Update: Hasselbeck has since tweeted:
