Uh oh. When will presidential candidates ever learn?
As Twitchy reported, Rep. Nancy Pelosi’s daughter Christine was among the first to scold her “fellow white progressives” for saying that “all lives matter,” because it is received as “erasure not inclusion” by the #BlackLivesMatter crowd.
Presidential candidate Martin O’Malley, while being shouted down at today’s Netroots Nation panel, tried to assuage the audience by appealing to everyone.

If O’Malley read Twitchy every day like he should, he would have known that many of the more polite black supporters of Hillary Clinton declared she had lost their votes when she said that “all lives matter” while speaking in a black church. Hasn’t anybody read this sign that’s been making the rounds?

In today's Democratic party, it is actually controversial to say that every person's life matters. Consider that.

O'Malley has to apologize to the progs for saying that all lives matter. Let that sink in, people who self-identify as American. #NN15

Fact that Martin O'Malley "gaffed" by saying "all lives matter" rather than only black lives tells you what a bubble activist Left lives in.

O'Malley just said #AllLivesMatter which means he just doesn't get it. #NN15

Did he just say all lives matter? Did no one prep O'Malley for this room? #NN15

O’Malley certainly did consider his “gaffe” after the panel, when he confessed it was a mistake to have said that “all lives matter” and he meant no disrespect.
The Democrats have just declared themselves as the party where 'All lives' do not matter… on the record… in 2015. pic.twitter.com/3FRuPX2z6D

@AlGiordano – Thoughts on how bad this was for O'Malley? As someone who is a diehard O'Malley supporter, I thought Netroots was a mistake.

If O'Malley had to apologize for daring to say that all lives matter, I believe every candidate should now have to answer if they agree.

Also present at the panel was candidate Bernie “Get Off My Lawn” Sanders, who didn’t show quite the patience or contrition that his opponent did.
