Ex-GOP Rep Warns Obama, BLM To ‘Watch Out’ After Dallas Shootings
A former Tea Party congressman from Illinois sent a series of tweets on Thursday night blaming the fatal police shootings in Dallas on President Barack Obama and declaring a war on “black lives matter punks.”
Former Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL), who now hosts a nationally syndicated far-right radio show, posted a tweet warning that “Real America” was coming after Obama and Black Lives Matter activists at around midnight.

The post has since been deleted, and Walsh posted another tweet shortly later insisting he wasn’t “calling for violence,” just for people to “defend our cops.”
As of Friday morning, his Twitter feed was still overflowing with posts blaming the president’s “words” and “BLM’s deeds” for the attack on law enforcement at the end of a Dallas Black Lives Matter protest. The attack killed five officers and wounded seven others. Two civilians were also injured in the attack.
