Former congressman Allen West loves the new T-shirt given to him recently, but the shirt’s message isn’t sitting well with those who want race to be a top issue in America.
The shirt reads, “All Lives Matter. Except ISIS. F–K Those Guys.” West proudly displayed the shirt for a Facebook post.
“This was given to me by a good man who works in our office building,” West wrote on his post. “The message speaks for itself. This will be my favorite motorcycle riding T-shirt! (be sure to read the fine print!)”

Nine Line of Savannah, Georgia, a veteran-owned business, created the shirt. West, a retired lieutenant colonel, didn’t mind giving a shoutout to the company for the gift. He also didn’t mind taking a punch at the #BlackLivesMatter movement. The group has made a point to disrupt events, especially political meetings, with their message. It began after several highly publicized cases of police officers killing African-American suspects in the line of duty.
West posted his disdain for the group on his blog, citing numerous cases where police officers were killed by African-Americans without a word being uttered by the White House, the Department of Justice or activists like Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton.
“All lives matter, and the lives that truly do matter are those lost in defending and securing our freedoms and liberties – our deployed warriors and the law enforcement officers deployed on our streets daily!” West posted, adding he posted his opinion “because I despise hypocrisy.”
