Udall Screws Up Introducing First Lady: ‘We Judge People By The Content Of Their Color’

While introducing Michelle Obama at a campaign event on Friday, Sen. Mark Udall (D., Colo.) invoked the words of the late great Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., to add some gravitas to the First Lady’s appearance.

Unfortunately, they were the wrong words.

“I’m so proud of our country. In 2008 and 2012, we showed that Dr. Martin Luther King had it right,” Udall said. “Which is that in America, at our best, we judge people by the content of their color–”

Udall’s crowd began to groan, and the embattled Democratic senator quickly corrected himself on the oft-quoted phrase.

“Content of their character, not the color of their skin,” Udall said. “I got it right–I got it both ways!”

Never look away from the teleprompter for that long again during a speech, Mark. Didn’t 2008 and 2012 at least teach you that?

[Old Yeller]

He was exactly right about one color anyway.

[Gaffer]

No, wasn’t a screw up. That’s about what it is today. Just aks Eric “My People” Holder. Obama and the first whatever are no different.

When do you think the groaning crowd will see this pandering for what it is and recognized how they are “on the plantation” for democrats as much as they were in the 19th century?

LOL.....he’s toast....

If a Republican had done this, MSNBC and every other lib outlet will be holding this gaffe up as proof positive that every Republican thinks only of skin color and is racist.

Since it was a Dem, zzzzzzz.That’s how it will be treated by the MSM.

This wasn't a screw-up.  He laid it out there clear as day, and it's just what they do.  LOL

Gotta love it when someone on the Left forgets who he's spewing to.
