During an interview with an ABC member in Pennsylvania, Vice President Mike Pence refused to say the words “Black life matters”, saying “all life matters”.

“Forgive you for pressing this, sir,” ABC6 reporter Brian Taff told Pence. “But I will say that ‘Black life is important’ you did not say these words and there is an important distinction. People say, of course, that all lives are important, but saying their words admits that Black is also important in this country when it is understood that there is a part of our society that does not agree. So why don’t you say these words? “

“Well, I do not accept the fact that American society has a precious and disaffected segment of every human life,” Pence replied. “And this is one of the reasons why we will not stop there, advancing important reforms in law enforcement, while looking for ways to strengthen and develop our inner city forces.”

Pence added that the management is “absolutely determined to improve the lives of African Americans” in the development of pre-pandemic and economic “opportunity zones”.

“And yet one last time, you won’t say the words and we understand you explain,” Taff replied.
