They don’t want consistency, just better marketing in that moment. Claiming to support BLM in that moment changes the discussion from a lynching to vigilante justice in support of law and order. It is basically the same as what Nixon did. He was famously racist, but ran on the disturbances caused by the Civil Rights Movement rather than a clear voiced opposition to those rights. How many Fox News viewers have their own fantasy of shooting ‘looters’, but would deny a desire to engage in a racially motivated murder?
