Twitter Liberals Angry That Hillary Said ‘All Lives Matter’ in a Black Church

by Alex Griswold | 6:02 pm, June 23rd, 2015 447
Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton made something of a liberal faux pas Tuesday when she said that “all lives matter” during a speech in a black church in Florrisant, Missouri.
ADVERTISEMENT
#AllLivesMatter went viral shortly after #BlackLivesMatters to emphasis racial unity, rather than the division some people– especially conservatives– thought was attached to the latter hashtag. But some on the left consider “all lives matter” a “microagression” that diminishes the focus on racial injustice.
Black and liberal Twitter users reacted predictably.

Hillary Clinton, in a Black church, just said "All lives matter." Fam...

Hillary Clinton talked about institutionalized racism then hit an "All lives matter." I can't make this shit up lmao

I wish Hillary Clinton would realize the violence and erasure behind the reactionary "All Lives Matter" BS. Or maybe she does.

To say "All Lives Matter" in a black church less than a week after Charleston is, I have to say, pretty violent and despicable

Saying "All lives matter" in a black church, in ferguson... Who advised Hilary?! Who told her that was a brilliant idea?

And I guarantee they will push it as some variation of "The greatest civil rights victory since MLK." I GUARANTEE IT. Meanwhile+

Hillary just sat in a Black church talking about "All Lives Matter" after 9 black folks were executed for being black.

hillary clinton gets up to make a speech about systematic racism and says "all lives matter" byeeeeee

Did ya'll boo Hilary when she says all lives matter? Please say you did.

Hillary Clinton really and truly said "All lives Matter" OMG SHE HAS TO BE ONE OF THE DUMBEST POLITICIANS THIS NATION HAS EVER PRODUCED

Hillary Clinton just said "All Lives Matter." Girl BYE. If you can't just say Black Lives Matter, then keep us out of your mouth altogether.

man...I'm literally in denial that Hillary Clinton said All Lives Matter in a Black church in Ferguson

Someone should probably break it to Hillary Clinton that there is not undo send button for saying," All lives matter."
