Candidate electrifies crowd of more than 15,000 and vows to fight to end institutional racism, after two events in which he was upstaged by protesters
They came to “Feel the Bern” and to see how the man himself felt about being recently singed. Bernie Sanders did not disappoint.
The Democratic presidential candidate fired up supporters at a huge rally in Los Angeles on Monday night and in the process allayed some, though not all, doubts about his relationship with the Black Lives Matter movement.
He electrified the Los Angeles sports arena with vows to take the White House and tackle billionaire oligarchs, income inequality, institutional racism and mass incarceration. “This is an economy that is rigged and meant to benefit those on top,” he thundered in a hoarse voice. “We need an economy that works for all people.”
Instead of protesters upstaging him – something that has sabotaged two previous events – the 73-year-old senator from Vermont had African American allies on stage to introduce him and reassure the Black Lives Matter movement, and others, that he may be an old white guy, but he was their old white guy.
“There’s no president that will fight harder to end institutional racism,” he promised.

Marshmallow.
no you’re not, you’re a white male. You can never be “our” guy
“If you want more free crap, then I’m your boy.”
It was a stellar plan.
That and putting food stamps under the Ag dept.
White sissy!
Those two fat, black extreme cornrows made him look like a scared whitey.
A free range chicken in every pot, pot in every pipe and a Prius in every garage!
I’m your guy!
Sure. Send in some water buffalo’s who essentially tell Bernie to STFU and yep. He does it.
So, you would get rid of:
And many more...?
Go bernie GO! Sell out early, sell out often.
and they will love him for it!
I'll tell you what...I have little sympathy for any candidate who would allow a few nitwits to stop his or her speech. The disruptors should have been unceremoniously booted out of the arena. It's disgraceful that the disruptors disrupted the speech, and it's disgraceful the Sanders allowed them to do so. It was an insult to the people who came to hear him babble uh ...speak.
Coward.
That’s definitely presidential material right there...
Lunatics like the women who disrupted the speech probably think when Sanders goes home he puts on a KKK robe, gets out the chewing tobacco, and watches videos of blacks being lynched.
“This is an economy that is rigged and meant to benefit those on top”
By ‘those on top’, surely you mean the people that worked hard, stayed off drugs, obeyed the law, made good life choices, worked their way through the ranks and made it to the top on their own. Surely thats who you are talking about so, yeah, they deserve it.
But you are a commie bastard so that does not compute in your logic. All you know is “FREE STUFF FOR BABY MAMAS”
You spineless, gutless, commie wimp.
Way to rollover to anyone you think might be offended if you don’t kneel down and kiss their feet.
Yeah, keep it up you communist. Go ahead and cower down to that small minority. Middle America is watching.
If its votes you want, tell blacklivesmatter racists to GO TO HELL. Millions of people will admire you for at least ten seconds. Of course then they will remember that you are a stinking commie that will plans to INCREASE free stuff for these parasites.
