I don’t understand how this can happen. At the moment, Bernie Sanders is the one man running for President I genuinely believe wants to change this nation for the better. He marched with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., he has been outspoken on police brutality, and he wants to create a more livable wage for all people. Watching the video of him being effectively chased off the stage by (allegedly) #BlackLivesMatter activists is disturbing and saddening, and I’m sorry that these activists (if that’s what they really are) feel that the best way of spreading their message is by denigrating a man who has not only fought for equal civil rights but has done his best to make it a real issue in this already-farcical campaign process. These activists weren’t arrested, they weren’t attacked, they were even given a chance to speak, and yet they behaved appallingly. This article is sad, the video is even sadder.
These two pathetic spokeswomen for their cause could never have drawn a crowd this large, so they stole Bernie’s. Actions such as this need to stop. They do not further their cause. They drive a wider wedge in this country.
I was in attendance at his real rally last night and stood with 15,000 Seattleite’s who wanted, and who heard Bernie speak. It was electrifying. Let’s talk about that instead.
Agree whole-heartedly, Florence. I bet the rally was amazing, and Bernie seems to have addressed the incident with honesty and grace. Thanks for commenting!
