Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors is pushing back against televangelist Pat Robertson s claim that the movement she helped build is destroying Christianity, calling Robertsons suggestion inflammatory and dangerous.

The 90-year-old Christian Broadcasting Network founder had disparaged the Black Lives Matter movement as a stalking horse for a very, very radical anti-family, anti-God agenda.

Theyre talking about destroying, essentially, Christianity as being racist, Robertson said Thursday on an episode of his show The 700 Club.

Of course we want to stand with oppressed people against police brutality , but we dont want to go along with a lesbian, anti-family, anti-capitalist, Marxist revolution. We dont want that for America.

Cullors defended Black Lives Matter in a statement Saturday, pointing out that Christians are part of the movement.

To insinuate that our movement is trying to destroy Christianity is disgraceful and outright offends our Christian siblings who are a part of our movement against racial injustice, Cullors said.

Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation recognizes that our vision may not be agreed upon by everyone, but to blatantly disregard our work and equate it to destroying a religion is reckless, she added.
