In reply to the discussion: Marissa Janae Johnson doesn’t ‘give a f*ck’ if protest at Seattle Bernie Sanders rally drives people [View all]erpowers
(9,445 posts)She claims that the reason she does not go after Hillary Clinton is because Clinton has too much security and does private invite only events. Tell that to President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama. How many times have President Obama and First Lady Obama had to either confront protesters, or shut down protesters. I am pretty certain First Lady Obama spoke a an event at a private home and had to deal with a protester. That is the event at which First Lady Obama threatened to leave the event without giving her speech if the protester did not stop trying to interrupt her speech. President Obama had to deal with at least one protester at the White House. If a protester can get into the White House any protester can get to any candidate they want.
So, if this lady wanted to disrupt Hillary Clinton's events she could do so all she wanted. This lady is going after Bernie Sanders because she dislikes his politics. Some supporters have said people should not talk about what Bernie Sanders has done for African Americans in the past, but talk about what he is doing now, or what he will do in the future. It seems Sanders supporters were right to point out his past long record of civil rights action and now it should be clear why this woman went after a candidate with such a long history of working for civil rights; because she does not care about civil rights, or the plight of African Americans. This woman is just using BLM to disrupt a liberal/progressive campaign.
