Wade told The Washington Post on Monday that his work has always been humanitarian in nature and that his arrest was part of a larger effort to link him to — and discredit — Black Lives Matter, a movement he claims he has been associated with but never involved with politically.
“This case is highly politicized for obvious reasons; but I also feel like there are parts of this that are clearly sensationalism and there are parts of this that are doing anything possible to discredit a larger movement, which I have been associated with,” he said. “The claims are obviously so absurd that they border on satire for me, but they are not funny because they have real-life consequences.”
