Protesters who claimed affiliation with the Black Lives Matter movement stormed the stage during a rally for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) in Seattle on Saturday, taking over the microphone and forcing Sanders to leave without ever speaking.
Moments after Sanders took the stage at Westlake Park, two women and one man climbed the stage and confronted the Democratic presidential candidate, demanding a chance to speak.
After several moments of confusion and confrontation, an event organizer took the microphone and said the protesters would be allowed to speak before Sanders.

Probably. And the demonstrators are preparing to do worse for the GOP candidate.
As much as I loathe Sanders, he's a weak, frail old man and this can't be good for his health. Excitement and confrontation like this will lead to a heart attack for sure. Can't say I'll miss him if his ticker takes him out.
But a true Conservative (not a RINO) won't stand for this type of nonsense.
Mmmmm... liberal zombies chewing on each other. Tasty.
If they are doing this to a admitted socialist then image what they’ll do to a GOP’er
Obama’s America.
did they then burn all their sh*t down and loot the nearest mcdonalds?
“...unless they are blacks killed by other blacks in which case not so much.”
Yes, or via abortion, and that’s by far the vast majority of murdered blacks, so, hey, I guess they don’t matter much at all.
This is all a communist plot as I’m sure those here realize.
Funny that they are turning on Bernie, who’s as close to a commie as you can get.
I saw a “Bernie 2016” bumper sticker today, in my normally Republican part of NJ, fwiw.
How delightful.....
Set up by Hillary to paint him as an enemy of this populist movement, or set up by Sanders to draw attention? I suspect it is one of these.
But that would of been racisssss.
What happened to my beloved hometown?
Oh yeah, liberalism infected it.
“Amazing lack of security. Scary even.”
Valid point.
The DNC and it’s allies will attempt to recreate the 1968 Chicago Democrat convention riot at the 2016 RNC convention.
Sanders is a force to be reckoned with. I can see him standing up to the Russians and the Muslims.
That’s a bizarre read on the situation. “Black Lives Matter” are black nationalist types who blame whitey for everything. If anything, they probably consider Bernie a sell out. Many hardcore black nationalists are still doctrinaire Marxists, not just squishy democratic socialist types. They are very obviously being used to stir up animosity towards Hillary’s rivals here.
The really interesting thing about this is how multi-culturalism in general has undermined the traditional pro-worker American left. Identity politics grievance activists don’t give a damn about jobs or wages. They just want welfare and special privileges for their constituents. Moneyed interests like these types because they can be bought off. Plus they are too stupid and self-absorbed to follow complicated economic policy issues.
Guess what, Bernie, when the Revolution comes you will be up against the wall just like the rest of us.
yes but just not how old Bernie was expecting.
That’s absolutely right.
It’s a Clinton Astroturf group.
