O'Malley apologizes for saying 'all lives matter'Fucking libtards!
Phoenix (CNN)—Democratic presidential candidate Martin O'Malley apologized on Saturday for saying "All lives matter" while discussing police violence against African-Americans with liberal demonstrators.
Several dozen demonstrators interrupted the former Maryland governor while he was speaking here at the Netroots Nation conference, a gathering of liberal activists, demanding that he address criminal justice and police brutality. When they shouted, "Black lives matter!" a rallying cry of protests that broke out after several black Americans were killed at the hands of police in recent months, O'Malley responded: "Black lives matter. All lives matter." The demonstrators, who were mostly black, responded by booing him and shouting him down until he left the stage.
O'Malley isn't the first Democrat to come under fire for the remark. Hillary Clinton was criticized in June for doing the same thing. Hillary also apologized and said her remarks were insensitive to blacks and would not use the term "all lives matter" in the future.
