(62,536 posts)He's merely incorrect on certain measures. BLM went there with BLM shirts on. Of course they were going to be turned away. Thom doesn't recognize that. He's reading a lot of stuff and it gets muddled.
Clinton's security saw BLM people with BLM t-shirts, and they got busted. I posted about this. I think BLM knew they could not get in there (because Clinton's events are highly vetted and no-one who goes to such an event is getting in unless Clinton's people know them).
The "careers" comment is literally Thom quoting someone else "raising questions."
Thom is correct in being incredulous about BLM people not wanting photos. BLM said that they recorded the event. It is likely HRC's campaign didn't want journalists because it could've gone sour, so they let the BLM activists in and let it go as it did.
In the next day or three we'll see those recordings, and I guarantee you that this bullshit, the complete bullshit, won't end, because those BLM supporters will be slandered by the idiotic "left" and scrutinized and hated because Clinton answered questions and was all communicative to them (as if she would have had any other choice).
