Sanders Statement on Seattle Protesters

138. They could have gotten into a Hillary event. Other protesters did, right next to her.

The excuse was they got there late to one of her events and couldn't get in.

That would have happened with Bernie, had they gotten to his even late, the doors are closed when the venue is full.

So they were late for Hillary's event who then met with them 'in private' later. Nice for her image. But were on time for two of Bernie's events.

Protesters who heckled Hillary got right up on stage with her.

That excuse doesn't work.

Code Pink, eg, manages to get close to some of the most protected people, the war criminals, so no, they represent themselves, but thankfully Bernie has not allowed them to adversely affect the cause so many good people are fighting for. And in fact, the opposite of what they intended has happened. It introduced Bernie to many AAs who did not know him before.

And as many have been saying all over social media, 'why go after this dude, he marched with MLK etc. You see, the Civil Rights movement and those who were there on the right side, is NOT irrelevant to most AAs, as we've seen claimed here.
