The Republican National Convention crowd was fired up during an impassioned speech by an Evangelical pastor that set off a chant of “All Lives Matter.”

Pastor Mark Burns, founder of the South Carolina-based Christian NOW Television network, roused the crowd with a fiery message on racial harmony, calling on Republicans to come together to defeat Hillary Clinton and other “race-baiting Democrats.”

“Those Democrats will do whatever it takes to keep us Americans focusing on the colors that divide us and not the colors that unite us,” Burns shouted.

“I want to declare to the whole world,” he continued,  “that under Donald Trump and under a Donald Trump administration, ‘All Lives Matter!'”

As the crowd erupted in applause and cheers, Burns continued: “And that means, black lives! White lives! Hispanic lives! Asian lives! Christian lives! Muslim lives! Shout with me: All lives matter!”

The arena was soon filled with the sound of chanting “All lives matter.”

A crowd in the #RNCinCLE just chanted “All lives matter!” They might as well have said, “I’m racist! I’m racist! I’m racist!”

@JeremyCShipp doubt it, at KKK meeting they would be chanting white lives matter, kinda like chants at BLM meetings..get it?

— Mike Honcho (@dawg8u) July 22, 2016

@JeremyCShipp only a warped liberal mind concludes that an inclusive ALL lives matter seeks to end conversation – BLM dictates not converses

@ethiopiaashe the fictional Uncle Tom stayed on the white Dem-run plantation. Much like blacks today stay w/ the white-run Dem party #Tom

A black pastor leading the white crowd in a chant of ALL LIVES MATTER at the RNC is fine.

I thought only blue lives matter.
Such confuse.

@chrislhayes Yeah it’s a great idea to let in people who’ve already begun raping and murdering in Europe after being let in.

@truthrose1 “Pastor Coon”?? Wow not racist at all – what do leftists demean & suppress speech they disagree with? Oh yeah, they’re fascists
