During an appearance on Jesse Watters Primetime, Travis was asked if he thought the families of victims would speak out after collecting “pocket change” when BLM is “sitting on $43 million.” Travis responded to the question by saying that the families of victims, like George Floyd or Trayvon Martin, should be the most outraged along with anyone who believes in remunerative justice.

In addition, “willfully and maliciously” tearing down a memorial or historic pro...
