Black Lives Matter activist Pamala Moses is running for US Senate — as a Republican.
Moses made national headlines after she was jailed for voting illegally. The far-left activist also founded the Black Lives Matter chapter in Memphis.
“I did pull a republican petition for this candidacy,” Moses told WREG TV. “I was a Democrat for 30 years but in the interest in the culture shift for which you see here, real people. I have conservative values but I am progressive enough to submit my independent petition because I believe that independence is what this country needs. We need people more focused on the issues and the causes and not the parties.”Moses liked herself to Moses in the Bible, a man who led the Israelites out of bondage. Ms. Moses believes she can do the same.
“And I know in that Bible, the first five books that were written was written by a man named Moses. The same name I happen to have,” Moses said in a live stream posted to Facebook. “When God gave Moses the 10 commandments, the first thing He said from the burning bush was ‘Thou shalt not kill.'”
