Did you know you can support Sanders and BLM at the same time?

81. You want cameras and controversy.

Do you know how often G8 gets protested or how often TPP got protested? Nobody covered it but there were and are indeed protests outside of each and every one of those meetings.

I think them getting late to the Clinton thing was an excuse, I think they didn't intend to get in there, because they were actively wearing BLM shirts and the SS wouldn't let them get in there. I think all the excuses were weak sauce. It was not a genuine public event. Anyone walking up is going to get vetted. An ID check would be all the SS needed to know they were BLM members.

I think the private meeting was these activists getting there, knowing that they're not going to get in, ceding because it's an exciting thing to get to meet with a high level presidential candidate. And I think Clinton probably talked sincerely with them and belayed their concerns about adding a platform.

Apparently the BLM people recorded their meeting with Clinton so that will probably come out in the following days. And that should go over quite swell here on DU.
