Latino organizers refuse to let Sanders speak at event | The Hill
Seriously? They wouldn't even let him take the stage? A staffer for the festival confirmed it to the press. Then, the short article above has quotes from a rep from the Sanders campaign denying it happened, then clarifying later with some confusing double talk about how by the time it was fixed it was too late to talk?
What is it with the Black and Latino leadership in the Democratic Party as well as their overall voting blocks not supporting Bernie at all? I don't get it? Anyone want to try to explain this?
Bernie Sanders was denied speaking time at a Spanish-language festival Sunday, according to reporters on the campaign trail with the Democratic presidential candidate.
Sanders tried to take the stage during an event at Plaza Mexico in Lynwood, Calif., on Sunday afternoon but was rejected. “This is our event,” a staffer told reporters after the incident.
