Black Lives Matter (Live Blog 3)

When asked by an audience member "if black lives matter or all lives matter," all candidates except one responded that black lives matter. Webb was the sole candidate to respond with "all lives matter." He went on to give an example how he helped a black soldier and "cleared his name, cleared his reputation, and fought for it." He seems to be saying that by assisting one person of color, that he should automatically be viewed as ethical. Webb previously stated that he is against affirmative action, which along with his opposition to the black lives matter movement will lose him votes of minorities.
