Rachel Lindsay calls out Becca Kufrin over fiance’s pro-police Instagram

Former “Bachelorette” Rachel Lindsay, on Tuesday, June 9, confronted fellow former “Bachelorette”Becca Kufrin over her fiancé’s pro-police social media post, .amid nationwide protests against police brutality toward the Black community.On their “Bachelor Happy Hour” podcast, the two co-hosts discussed the contentious “Thin Blue Line” image shared on Instagram by Kufrin’s fiancé, .ex-“Bachelorette” contestant Garrett Yrigoyen.

Yrigoyen, 31, who says he has “many friends and family in law enforcement,”.posted a lengthy caption on June 4 alongside an image of the symbol, which is said to stand for “solidarity and professional pride within a dangerous profession”.Although Kufrin, 30, admitted the post came across as “tone-deaf," she said she believed his intents were not “malicious”.Lindsay, the first Black bachelorette in the franchise’s history, said she agreed Yrigoyen didn’t act maliciously but added that his actions were still very problematic.“You don’t have to be riding around with white sheets on to be doing things that are racist,” 35-year-old Lindsay explained to Kufrin.“I know Garrett has a good heart, but the fact that he is willing to equate Blue Lives Matter to Black Lives Matter shows me that you don’t get it"."When your circle doesn’t have people of color in it, why would you step out to care about the injustices they’re facing, when it doesn’t affect you at all?" she said."Garrett is a prime example of what is wrong in this society"
