Bernie Sanders Shut Down by #BlackLivesMatter Protesters (VIDEO)

At the Hill.

And video from KIRO News 7 Seattle, "VIDEO: Rally featuring Sen. Bernie Sanders cut short due to activists."



And from the Sanders Campaign, "Sanders Statement on Seattle Protesters":
SEATTLE – Sen. Bernie Sanders issued the following statement today after two demonstrators blocked him from addressing an event hosted by an organization supporting Social Security and Medicare:

“I am disappointed that two people disrupted a rally attended by thousands at which I was invited to speak about fighting to protect Social Security and Medicare. I was especially disappointed because on criminal justice reform and the need to fight racism there is no other candidate for president who will fight harder than me.”
Still more, in an ironically titled piece, at WaPo, "Protesters drove Bernie Sanders from one Seattle stage. At his next stop, 15,000 people showed."
