Klobuchar cancels campaign rally after protests (BLM)
The Hill ^ | 03 01 2020 | John Bowden

Posted on 03/01/2020 8:53:04 PM PST by yesthatjallen

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.

Example of why when the communists took over Nicaragua in the 80’s they put the rabid supporters of their movement up against the wall and shot them FIRST.

Prosecutors are often ambitious political animals who are looking to advance their careers at the expense of the people they prosecute. That’s just the way prosecutors are.

But these days, having been a prosecutor is a liability. It sank Kamala Harris’s campaign, and it now looks like it will sink Amy Klobuchar’s.

How anybody can be offended at Amy Klobuchar is a mystery to me. She is a nullity shaped like a human being, as far as I can tell.

he MAY have been wrongfully convicted?

he couldn’t attend his mother’s funeral? So what? That is the pain of being in prison.

I have been hearing this term “intersectionality” used over and over for the last year or two. What does it mean?

I would make sure there were 100 Italians with bats at every one of my campaign speeches.

They’d have to have a cool name to represent them as a group though.

George Soros probably paid the ‘protesters’ to show up.... the new ‘organizing’ is buying the gullible.
