after the protesters had been ejected. This following several minutes of trying to talk over them.

If Bernie had whined like that ("I'm sorry they didn't listen&quot , he would be accused of telling uppity black folks to stifle. And he would be accused of audaciously and stupidly asserting and white'splaining that what he had to say about structural racism was more important than what they had to say.

And we would be told that is what one would expect from an out-of-touch lily white old man from a lily white state.

Plus trying to talk over them, and had them ejected (or at least didn't object when they were being ejected), he would be accused of unconscionable racism in a couple of DU groups at least. Post after post after post for months on end.

But said by HRC, it was by definition, handled "very well",
