BREAKING: First Reactions from Patrisse Cullors During “Call Out” at Netroots Nation

14. I support Bernie Sanders, but I'm not at all upset by an action like this.

Same here. I think the protest helped Martin and Bernie. It will probably help Bernie more. The protest brought out a lot of good qualities in both candidates to the forefront. It also gave both of them an opportunity to talk specifically about #Blacklivesmatter and policies they would institute to dismantle institutional racism and how they would address income inequality(I would rather think of it as creating a more even playing field), I felt that they were listening even if they were a bit boisterous. What I think will happen is Bernie will have a long discussion with the leadership of Blacklivesmatter and they will give him some more specific policies they would like to see, Bernie will agree with them and they will be happy to support his campaign. I think Martin O'Malley will do the same and have similar results.

I don't think Bernie was at all upset with the fact that there were protesters at the event. However, he doesn't like it at all when people interrupt him when he is asked a question that he is answering without doing the usual song and dance that most politicians do, if he is answering respectfully he should be listened to respectfully. He asked the audience to listen and I think they did listen some still were chanting that is to be expected when you have a large group of protesters, but there was enough calm for him to speak and he did. I watched the video and it has been said he walked off in a huff, it seemed more to me that he walked away happy, he waved to the crowd in a friendly way I thought. I could be way off but seriously when he was talking he didn't even sound mad, just at the part where he was being treated rudely and then he took a breath and he switched back to his giving the power back to the people mode, you know the part where he says help me to help you, the part where he says I will march with you and I will stand with you and I will fight for you and this is how I will do it. I am almost positive I heard some applause at the end.
