The founder of a Black Lives Matter (BLM) chapter voiced his support for J6 prisoners and said Donald Trump is the “best candidate we have” for president.
Mark Fisher, who co-founded BLM Rhode Island and founded Maryland-based BLM Incorporated, spoke to The Epoch Times about the political persecution faced by J6 prisoners.
“They’re lambs led to slaughter to be sacrificed as an example for all who might want to dissent in the future,” Fisher told the outlet.
“This is what the government does to those who express independent thought and want to stand up for what they believe,” he added.
Fisher wasn’t afraid to voice his support for Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election.

Mark Fisher, a founder of a chapter of Black Lives Matter, is putting his support behind Donald Trump and the Jan 6 prisoners.
ADVERTISEMENT“This is what the government does to those who express independent thought and who stand up for what they believe,” Fisher said of the prisoners. He has held candle light vigils for them in an attempt to raise awareness.
He says BLM peaceful protest have become a victim just like Donald Trump. He said Anti(f)a and anarchist show up and cause chaos to make everyone look bad.
Is this the turning point that finally wakes more people up?
The Epoch Times explained Fisher’s thoughts about the black community’s increasing support for Donald Trump:
Mr. Fisher doesn’t stand alone in the black community in wanting to see President Trump return to office in 2024.
“More and more black people every day are supporting him,” he said. “Look at the rappers. The latest one who just went turncoat on the Democrats was Waka Flocka Flame, who announced on Twitter that he’s voting for Trump.”
On Oct. 16, the rapper posted a photo of himself and President Trump, and another post stated simply, “TRUMP2024.”
“Look at how a black neighborhood in Fulton County cheered Trump on the way to the county jail,” Mr. Fisher added.
They know that the government is harassing him because they’ve seen it in their own lives, he said, and they recognize the persecution.
Mr. Fisher said he isn’t afraid of taking flak from others in the black community because of his support of President Trump.
ADVERTISEMENT“I’m going to get the same pushback I expect for this that I got when I started the organization, not only from the white community but from my own community,” he said. “It’s just something that goes with the territory when you’re a leader. You must be bold. You can’t be afraid to be ridiculed.”
Many people in the black community are secretly behind President Trump and want to see him back in office, Mr. Fisher said.

Black Lives Matter co-founder Mark Fisher has came forward and endorsed Trump for 2024.
He also has came forward in support of J6 prisoners stating that they are facing unfair treatment much like African Americans have throughout history.
He said that legacy media is corrupt and the Democratic Party acts like it’s the party for African Americans but in reality is the more racist of the two parties.
Anyone who thinks Trump cannot win in 2024 is foolish. If the Democrats run Biden, Trump is going to win, the data that keeps coming out is only showing that more and more.
In his interview with The Epoch Times, Fisher said the mainstream media distorts the truth about BLM.
He said the media’s lies about BLM are similar to their lies about the J6 prisoners and what happened at the U.S. Capitol.
Per The Epoch Times:
Just as legacy media has distorted what happened at the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, by accusing Trump supporters of a violent insurrection, Mr. Fisher said BLM has been blamed for the 2020 summer riots, though there were outside parties like the far-left extremist group Antifa that were a source of chaos.
“Antifa had a lot to do with the riots of 2020, and there were a lot of anarchist groups who just wanted to take advantage of the moment and were out for destruction,” he said.
Black Lives Matter had been around years before George Floyd died while in police custody in Minneapolis in 2020, Mr. Fisher said. Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin was convicted of murder in the case.
“That’s when it became a political movement and the national and global center of attention,” Mr. Fisher said. “The media made us its darling, which it loves to do, and it was able to make us its scapegoat when things started to go south.”
Mr. Fisher, a Christian who has a degree in theology with a background in being a pastor, expressed contempt for both the government and the media.
“I don’t trust the federal or state government as far as I can throw them, and the media is trying to stop us from uniting,” he said. “It’s the same media that caused the division between all of these marginalized groups in the first place to keep us at each other’s throats.”
