“A Norwegian politician said he’s been bombarded with threats and hateful messages since he nominated the Black Lives Matter movement for the Nobel Peace Prize. Petter Eide, a member of the Norwegian Parliament, told ABC News on Sunday that he was prepared for the criticism and has no plans to rescind the nomination. ‘This weekend I have received so many negative responses from individual Americans telling me that Black Lives Matter is a violent and aggressive organization, that they are deliberately using violence as a political communication tool and that nominating them for the Nobel Peace Prize is quite insane,’ Eide said in a phone interview with ABC News. Eide declined to elaborate on the messages he has received, but said, ‘They were very nasty, and some of them were also threats. They were hateful'” – ABC News.
