The Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders was shoved aside by several Black Lives Matter activists and eventually had to leave an event in Seattle without giving his speech.
Sanders was just starting to address several thousand people gathered shoulder to shoulder at Westlake Park when two women took over the microphone. Organizers could not persuade the two to wait and agreed to give them a few minutes.

The difference is now there is more access for them.
And he is right about every time there is a chance to change thing this shit crops up...and I don't think it is just by accident.

(8,175 posts)Don't know if it has anything to do with something altering his consciousness. He didn't seem drunk to me...just really really pissed.

(1,370 posts)So far there's been a closed door meeting with BLM, but I haven't heard anything about a public confrontation, or protesters trying to disrupt her event, suggesting that her supporters were liberal white supremacists.
From what I'm hearing in the MSM Bernie doesn't know how to communicate with black people the way Hillary does...

(23,946 posts)Maybe if Thomm Hartmann were to explain on a video he personally posted at DU......wish there was a thread about that....

(1,370 posts)Can you point out anything I posted that was a lie?
Remember you, brought up the question..... I just continued down the road YOU went down.... starting with the speculative question as to whether Malloy was drunk...

(759 posts)so I guess BLM would be better off just to wait in line to be heard... well that went very well for the immigration movement.... now we have immigrant pregnant women and children incarcerated and enslaved in the good ol' USof A... good thing all them 'illegals' are so noble and subservient ...... this tone policing also needs to just stahp ...especially from people who have no skin in the game

(458 posts)... the optics were terrible at the SS event they interrupted last weekend. I know the anger... the supporters of Sanders know the anger... but the people they needed to reach mostly heard - screeching and rudeness and narcissism. They tried to embarrass and discredit the one guy running for POTUS who has consistently fought against this fascist racist nonsense for over 50 years. Fortunately they failed. One of the women is definitely angling for a media career, decided to get in front of the Sanders parade and pretend like she was leading the charge, that was well under way before she got there. If they had any real guts, we would have seen them at the Repub debate, or getting in Trump's face. But hell no.
