‘Black Lives Matter’ Supporters Unhappy With Nancy Pelosi

Uh-oh. There’s already trouble in liberal paradise.

Nancy Pelosi participated in a town hall on MSNBC. I don’t think she was expecting to get a question on the “Black Lives Matter” movement, because her response wasn’t very direct.

A student, Shelly Ward, asked Pelosi if she supported the BLM movement. Pelosi dropped the ball big time, because she managed to say “All Lives Matter,” which is basically a trigger to BLM supporters. They say that “alternative” phrase diminishes and minimizes their plight.

“Well, I support the recognition that black lives matter, for sure. And I have incorporated that in many of my statements. I think all lives matter, yes,” Pelosi said.

Uh-oh. There it is.

“But there has — we really have to redress past grievances in terms of how we have addressed the African-American community. I had a real privilege yesterday to address the swearing-in of the new black caucus members,” Pelosi added.

You can’t just go around suggesting that ALL lives matter! You MUST take skin color into consideration.

A student asks Pelosi if she supports the black lives matter movement and her answer is disappointing. She actually said all lives matter, as if cops shot white rich people on a daily basis

Me too I’m just shocked a professional politician Who is been in the game for a long time could not come up with a better answer than that bullshit. This is why there was a reduction in African-American voting in 2016.

“I support the recognition that Black lives matter” “I do think all lives matter” 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️ eh, @SpeakerPelosi total opportunity for you to channel @BetoORourke. We don’t need recognition, we need realization that black people continue to be under assault by some white society. pic.twitter.com/fVTAO4hQ9B

Not the right answer @SpeakerPelosi – All Lives Matter is not the point!

Get with the program, Pelosi. Gosh.

This is what happens when you relentlessly and shamelessly pander to a hundred different groups. Sooner or later, you’re going to offend one of them.
