The mother of Breonna Taylor, whose daughter was accidentally shot dead by police in her own Kentucky apartment last year, has branded the Black Lives Matter movement a fraud.

‘I have never personally dealt with BLM Louisville and personally have found them to be fraud, Attica Scott another fraud,’ Tamika Palmer wrote in a Facebook post earlier this week.

Her criticism comes amid a backlash against the national co-founder of BLM after it was revealed she owns a multimillion property empire.

Meanwhile, Palmer also lashed out at state Democrat Rep. Attica Scott, who has continued to push for legislation to ban ‘no-knock’ warrants in Kentucky.

‘I have never personally dealt with BLM Louisville and personally have found them to be fraud, Attica Scott another fraud,’ Palmer wrote.

She also criticized people who raised money on behalf of her daughter’s family without actually knowing either her or Taylor.

‘I could walk in a room full of people who claim to be here for Breonna’s family who don’t even know who I am, I’ve watched y’all raise money on behalf of Breonna’s family who has never done a damn thing for us nor have we needed it or asked so talk about fraud,’ Palmer said.

‘It’s amazing how many people have lost focus … I’m a say this before I go, I’m so sick of some of y’all and I was last anybody who needs it,’ she added.
