It was a Social Security & Medicare rally that Bernie happened to be speaking at, not a Bernie Sanders rally.

Also, IMO, the problem was more with the execution on the part of the BLM activists than anything else. It's not wrong in itself.

??

Going up to a rally that's unrelated, shoving an old guy, stealing the microphone to hijack the event and forcing an audience who is there for a different purpose to listen to you and generally be obnoxious, and end up ruining the entire rally... how is that not wrong?

Why's it wrong? Why should I care whether or not it's obnoxious?

It was gracelessly executed, and probably ultimately counterproductive in terms of the ends. But at the same time, that's kind of the way the game is played. And I think really I'm more defending the broader BLM, anti-racist approach to the Sanders campaign, which a lot of people have come around to criticize after the Seattle thing. But really, what the hell's wrong with it? They want to commit the Democratic Party and the left more thoroughly to their position. And their position is pretty much right, so who gives a shit?

It's wrong because it's derailing.

-The event was about another important issue, and hijacking it so it's about your issue is not only rude, it's pissing on those other issues. Police abuse is an important issue but NOT the only important issue.
-The women looked fucking crazy, were rude as fuck, and almost definitely hurt the cause. They're alienating their support, so it hurts the BLM movement more than anyone.
-Shoving an old man and prying the microphone from his hands is not only rude, it's something else entirely. I wouldn't have been mad if someone escorted them from the event.
-Bernie Sanders would've been MORE than happy to have BLM speakers speak at his events. He's all for frontlining that issue and he has the track record to prove that he's willing to take risks to stop racial inequality. So again, these women were fucking assholes.
