Dem Sen. Udall Introduces Michelle Obama: "We Judge People By The Content Of Their Color"

"I'm so proud of our country," Sen. Mark Udall (D-CO) said as he introduced First Lady Michelle Obama at a campaign event on Thursday. "We showed that Dr. Martin Luther King [Jr.] had it right. Which is that in America, at our best, we judge people by the content of their color."



Udall quickly corrected himself.



"The content of their character, not the color of their skin," he said.



"I got it right. I got it both ways!" he said the audience which gave an audible reaction.



"We judge people by the content of their character, not the color of their skin," Udall said again for good measure.



Udall, the incumbent Senator, is in a close race with Republican challenger U.S. Rep. Cory Gardner.
