South Bend Mayor and presidential candidate Pete Buttigieg apparently stepped in it in 2015 because he uttered the phrase “all lives matter.”

Pete Buttigieg says he didn't understand context around phrase "all lives matter" in 2015 https://t.co/L5jbCykOim pic.twitter.com/DKaDKUbkjS — CNN Politics (@CNNPolitics) April 4, 2019

Now, he’s saying … what?

Democratic presidential hopeful Pete Buttigieg said Thursday that he was unaware when he said "all lives matter" in 2015 that the phrase was being used to undercut the Black Lives Matter movement https://t.co/Q5RClCxeHV — Dan Merica (@merica) April 4, 2019

“At that time, I was talking about a lot of issues around racial reconciliation in our community. What I did not understand at that time, was that phrase, just early into mid-2015, was coming to be viewed as a sort of counter slogan to Black Lives Matter.”

How is he unaware?

Either he thinks all lives matter or he doesn’t.

No one has a copyright on a phrase.

Adding this to his "all lives matter" history does not speak well for Buttigieg. – https://t.co/tCmLazgNIY https://t.co/aXK9sPY2hH — David M. Perry (@Lollardfish) April 4, 2019

It’s totally okay with Buttigieg and the Left for babies to be killed, illegal immigrants to flood into our nation and a Green New Deal to bankrupt just about everyone.

But saying “all lives matter” is the thing that’s a dealbreaker.
