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.
Buttigieg spoke about his past comment after a speech at the National Action Network, a politically powerful organization founded by Rev. Al Sharpton. The phrase"all lives matter" has been used by critics of the Black Lives Matter movement to push back on the view that closer attention needs to be paid to the deaths of African American men and women at the hand of law enforcement."At that time, I was talking about a lot of issues around racial reconciliation in our community.
