It was important that I be at Netroots Nation this weekend,

and I am grateful I was a part of the important conversation about ‪#?blacklivesmatter‬—a conversation that must not end with this conference. I am already listening to and speaking with leaders from this movement, and I will continue to do so throughout my candidacy to ensure those voices and needs help shape my criminal justice reform package to make it as comprehensive and effective as possible. -O'M

I am sick of reading he didn't handle the situation well he flubbed it or whatever. He didn't, most people have problems articulating positions while being yelled at it's human nature. Plus he can clap in rhythm and that's cool. And he chanted with the protesters I am pretty sure he would stand in solidarity with them if they just asked. I am sure he has even gone to events without an invitation I haven't checked it just seems like something he would do.
