Hillary Finally Talks With BLM Protestors; Media Not Invited

[GoLeft TV]

Protesters from Black Lives Matters showed up at a Hillary Clinton campaign event last week in New Hampshire, hoping to ask the presidential candidate tough questions about mass incarceration and the policies of her husband that helped put more African American men behind bars for small offenses. And the very predictable happened that day – the protesters were not allowed inside the event.

Instead, the protesters and a handful of other members of the public were told that the room was at capacity, so they were escorted to a private room where they watched the event on a monitor. After Clinton finished speaking, she did meet with the protesters for about 15 minutes, and this is where things start to get a little hazy.

According to the Clinton campaign, the Black Lives Matter protesters asked that the media not be allowed in the room during the meeting, a sharp contrast from the group’s very public confrontations between Bernie Sanders and Martin O’Malley. However, the protesters later told CNN that this was not the case – they were asked by the Clinton campaign if they wanted a picture with the candidate, to which they said no, and that it was the decision of the campaign to not bring in members of the media.

1. Her campaign can't even get that story straight.

And people wonder why she is not trusted by a growing number of americans?

I am glad she met with them.

3. No one said she wasn't one smart cookie

Barring them from getting into the speech room, then getting a 15 minute private talk to show empathy and sympathy for their cause and give platitudes about how she is on their side etc...

Meanwhile it was her husband, and herself agreeing, with those harsh penalties that disproportionately affected black Americans. Something she has never recanted. If anyone deserved to be interpreted and heckled by the black community it was her, not Bernie.

4. The two BLM were guest on RMS/Malissa Harris last night they

said they were NOT impressed with or believed Senator Clinton's answers. I listen to the "closed media" meeting. talking about word salad, Ms Clinton should be ashamed. She was in full sarah palin mode.

barely repressesed annoyance. Another patrician whose duty requires rubbing elbows with the unwashed but has forgotten her scented hankie.
