Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) canceled a campaign rally in St. Louis Park, Minn., on Sunday after protesters reportedly affiliated with Black Lives Matter and other civil rights groups took the stage at her event for over an hour.
In a statement obtained by The New York Times, Klobuchar's campaign said the senator offered to meet with demonstrators in exchange for them exiting the stage and allowing her rally to proceed, adding that the protesters initially agreed to such terms before reportedly backing out and refusing to leave the stage.
“The campaign offered a meeting with the senator if they would leave the stage after being on the stage for more than an hour,” a spokesperson for the Klobuchar campaign told the Times. “After initially agreeing, the group backed out, and we are now canceling the event.”
The campaign did not immediately return a request for further comment from The Hill.
Klobuchar has faced calls to suspend her campaign from Black Lives Matter and NAACP activists over her role in the criminal prosecution of Myon Burrell, an African American man who was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison while still a teenager. Klobuchar was the lead attorney in the county at the time of his initial trial, and she later denied a request for him to attend his mother's funeral after he was imprisoned.
Burrell's case has become a point of criticism for Klobuchar's campaign, as many including the victim's father believe he may have been wrongfully convicted.

Excellent Comandress-in-Chief material
Schadenfreude!
‘dp’s Louisville Sluggers’!
Stick a fork in Amy. Joe has his followers on the job.
I can’t wait to see if the Bernie Bro’s think BLM.
Netx, her campaign.
Black Lives Matter is held up by the two pillars of Michael Brown and Trayvon Martin, both of whom should have been killed. As such all claims of the organization become apocryphal and Democrat politicians have another infestation of delusions they must embrace and express justification for. You need the media on your side when your ethics must continually match the most recent 100 Facebook and Twitter posts to go viral.
Didn’t I read a book about this projected to one day happen? :)
She should have been prepared, showed some backbone and had them arrested. She instead looks weak, these attacks will be repeated. She should end her futile campaign.

I’m not so sure I’d call Black Lives Matter black folks.....More like black Terrorists. Even after Obama arranged a meeting for them to have their grievances heard before the UN they still conducted themselves like thugs there. It’s not a group normal blacks want to be associated with from what I’ve seen and heard. They’ve just become to intrusive, rude and frankly dangerous.
The Pasta Tooths.
I personally hope they take Sanders out sooner rather than later.
As long as the bats are for brandishing and not for dinner.

Amy Klownbuckle hates Black people.
Let’s hope Amy’s troubles are not only with the blacks.
I’d like to see her fall flat on her face.
The Dindu Nuffins spoiled her homecoming.
That’s what virtue signaling and groveling gets you - you idiot!
Soroznazi is still using the political disruption and violence tactics he learned from his Nazi bff’s in the 1940’s. Verily, there’s very very little that’s really new under the sun.
