Didn’t Black Lives Matters just run Sanders off the stage at one of his own campaign events?

Via Guardian:

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 – which 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.
