Republican Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida took up Democratic California Rep. Eric Swalwell’s challenge to say “black lives matter” on Wednesday, but added that “all lives matter.”

The exchange came during a House Judiciary Committee hearing regarding proposed police reform legislation in response to the death of George Floyd.

At the hearing, Swalwell quoted Black Lives Matter co-founder Alicia Garza, saying, “Black Lives Matter doesn’t mean your life isn’t important. It means that black lives, which are seen as without value within white supremacy, are important to your liberation.”

How about simply “all black lives matter“? If so, would that include Clarence Thomas and Thomas Sewell and Candace Owens?

[plain talk]

““Black Lives Matter doesn’t mean your life isn’t important. It means that black lives, which are seen as without value within white supremacy, are important to your liberation.””

... and I don’t accept their premise. They’re nuts.

Heck, we are four years into the Trump administration and the allies of the 1st black President are still mucking up the works.

[Fungi]

Or 20,000,000 aborted unborn black lives?

[Skywise]

I’d flip him off right there.

[dfwgator]

I’ll even say “All Black Lives Matter”.

That includes Blacks that left the Democrat Plantation.

[dfwgator]

I think we’re onto something here.

[Freee-dame]

What does “are important to your liberation” mean? Does that possibly mean that this speaker thinks white people are somehow not quite liberated because they don’t understand their so-accused white supremacy? If so, that is just a disgusting statement

[Bommer]

No try all lives matter and that includes blacks and cops!

“And especially for the Democrat Party let me say: ‘Communist Lives Matter.’ We won’t genocide you the way you would do to us.”

[Fido969]

Dems are trying to stem Trump’s black support, that’s all it is.

Here's a short clip of Swalwell emphatically expressing himself about these BLM youngsters, and their wholesome, peaceful activities, all over the country.

NO! Stop saying “black lives matter.” Start saying, “The radical left-wing organization called Black Lives Matter.”

For the love of God, stopped getting sucked in.

It’s the name of an organization. It’s NOT a concept.

It’s like Planned Parenthood. Who’s against planned parenthood or black lives? Right? But you can be AGAINST the organizations called Black Lives Matter and Planned Parenthood.

The moment you say, “all lives matter,” you have fallen into the trap!

[dfwgator]

I call them Black Lives Matter, Inc.

They are a profit-making organization.

[Freee-dame]

Of course”All Lives Matter” is the only actual truth. My point is that “Black Lives Matter” means that “only” black lives matter, but its supporters do not even believe that ALL black lives matter.

Fart Suppression Matters, Eric.

Excuse me but why in the hell should anyone pander to one race by saying their lives matter more than any other human being? Does anyone actually believe that no one of another race has ever been beaten or shot in a questionable manner by police? The fact is it does happen but we don't hear about it because it won't cause the type of racist reaction as when it happens to Blacks!

I tell you whose lives matter the most..........my families lives and God help them if any of these wilding, rioting Sons of Bitches tries to harm them! If that makes me a racist, well I can live with that.

[Campion]

How about if I say, “Eric Swalwell is a fascist jackass,” instead?

[Parley Baer]

Saying that “all lives matter” is now somehow racists.

[windsorknot]

From which orifice was Swalwell speaking?
