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.

GAS HOUSE GORILLAS.
(Black Lives Matter and other civil rights groups)
Yes. Nothing says “civil rights” more than terrorizing people and shutting down their right to be heard!
The Insane Clown Posse now runs the Democrat Party. The only question for the nomination now is Insane or Communist?
Now youse can't leave.
“The Guidos’’.
They sow the wind and reap the whirlwind.
I posted my comment before I read yours. Hosea 8:7
You know, I’m a woman, and I agree with you 100%. Some years ago when I was young and Dumbocrat, I would’ve vehemently disagreed and called you every name in the book. Now, I’ll take any pejorative thrown at me, but I hope we never have a female President, but especially not a Dumbcrap one.
lol

Could she have had them arrested? On what charge?
“Now youse can’t leave”
Great scene but unless they were some wuss local outfit, bikers are a pretty mean bunch.
What were there, 9 of them? That’s enough to be a handful.
There was a whole bunch of bikers parked out on Arthur Kill Road on Staten Island, the boondocks 25 years ago.
I drove by in my camaro and one of them threw a bottle at my car.
They all laughed.
I parked.
I got out of my car.
I started to walk towards them.
And then I said to myself “There’s no Italians around here for miles and I might hurt one but the’ll Kill me.”
And I went back to my car and drove away.
What are you gonna do?
Someone could have press trespassing charges, then disorderly conduct or whatever if they resisted leaving. Had Klobuchar stood her ground and they touched her, then assault. I’m sure lawyers and prosecutors could find something.

Amy had no guts. BLM and the NAACP have no brains, only street thug brawn fascism.
Gee, the Democrats really have a great group of supporters. More like week-old dirty jock straps with eyeballs.
The Soros/Obama goons seem to have taken care of things after she apparently refused the offer that Pete accepted.
Hard to feel sorry for anyone in the party that backs the goons and their tactics otherwise when used upon them.
Same deal as the blacks turning their backs on Bloomie in the church today. They are desperate for the non-Sanders vote to be united on Super Tuesday.
