This story has some amusing entertainment value. Bernie was in Seattle, a city chock full of liberal progressives, and gets shouted down by two BLM women with an attitude.
there are some comments on the FB page as libs go 'round and 'round. here's one:
"Joe Dawson Seriously?? Bernie marched with Dr. King. He has done more for black lives than BLM will ever do. Are you even aware of the civil rights movement??? Most ignorant page ever made in the history of the Internet."
another
"You're an idiot. The BLM movement have a petition for the uneducated morons 'protesting' to apologise on behalf of BLM, because they don't support what they did. The vast majority of black people think they're idiots and they've made the whole BLM movement look stupid, as do idiots like you who fail to actually listen or understand people/politics and judge things solely on race. Here's a man who has fought all his life for black people and civil rights, but no, he's a white man so it doesn't count, and 'white tears everywhere'. Tell me, who are the real racists here? Clue : Look in a fucking mirror."

Bernie Sanders Interrupted by Black Lives Matter - Again
While giving a speech on Social Security in Seattle, Bernie Sanders was again shouted down by Black Lives Matter activists.
Bernie's response? He stood by and let them take the microphone. He waited patiently while activists demanded a four and a half minute moment of silence for Michael Brown. Bernie gives them their four and a half minutes, but the activists continued to refuse to relinquish the microphone. One memorable quote was the activists claiming the entire crowd were "white supremacist liberals". Activists also demanded that Bernie apologize for the fiasco at Netroots Nation some weeks back.
In the end, Bernie Sanders was unable to make his remarks, and he left the stage after negotiations with the activists failed.
O'Malley apologized to these people for saying "All lives matter" instead of "Black lives matter". Sanders allowed them to take over his event and walked away like a whipped cur. White Liberals are so shame ridden, so consumed with racial guilt, they roll over and play dead when so ordered. How can people like this stand up to the mullahs or Putin if they haven't got sufficient spine to stand up to these dime store thugs?
"This is the most lavishly funded and entirely moronic foreign ministry on the planet."~~Mark Steyn's description of the US State Dept.
"SEATTLE — Hours after Black Lives Matter protesters shut down a Bernie Sanders rally here, the Vermont senator’s populist Democratic presidential campaign once again attempted to cast Sanders as the candidate of a modern civil rights movement.
Before a crowd of more than 12,000 at the Alaska Airlines Arena on the campus of the University Of Washington, a new public face for the Sanders campaign appeared. Symone Sanders, a volunteer organizer with the D.C.-based Coalition for Juvenile Justice, was announced as the new national press secretary of Sanders’ campaign and was tasked with introducing the 73-year-old senator.
Symone Sanders is a young, black, criminal justice advocate and supporter of the Black Lives Matter movement. She’s also a progressive political activist right out of the Sanders mold: Her last job was at Ralph Nader’s Public Citizen. In an interview, Symone Sanders said she first connected with the senator about three weeks ago, offering him advice on how to better understand the message of Black Lives Matter activists in an hour-long chat."
"After activists from the Black Lives Matter movement repeatedly disrupted speeches by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) over the past few weeks, the popular and populist presidential candidate released a comprehensive racial justice platform and hired a young racial justice activist as his national press secretary.
The platform, which has won praise from several prominent voices in the Black Lives Matter movement, focuses on different forms of violence against people of color in the United States: physical violence from law enforcement and extremist vigilantes, the political violence of voter suppression, the legal violence of the War on Drugs and mass incarceration, and the economic violence of crushing poverty. Sanders lays out several proposals to address each form of violence, from passing “ban the box” laws to prevent hiring discrimination against people with criminal records, to outlawing for-profit prisons, to restoring the gutted protections in the 1965 Voting Rights Act."
