2016 Republican presidential hopeful Rand Paul suggested the Black Lives Matter organization “should change their name” if they want to actually “get their message across” to Americans while being interviewed on Fox News’ “Hannity” Wednesday.

PAUL: I think they should change their name, maybe. If they were “All Lives Matter” or “Innocent Lives Matter.” I am about justice, and frankly I think a lot of poor people in our country — and many African-Americans — are trapped in this war on drugs and I want to change it, but commandeering the microphone and bullying people and pushing people out of the way I think really isn’t a way to get their message across.
