Yep... BLM "Pre"-Annouced Its Intention To Disrupt Hillary Through The New Republic...

[WillyT]

When they arrived at today’s Clinton event, which focused on substance abuse and the heroin epidemic, after first sharing their talking points and questions exclusively with the New Republic, the activists found the entrances closed by U.S. Secret Service who said the venue was at capacity. Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors, who was in contact with the five activists, later told the New Republic that the activists were eventually let into an “overflow room.” Following the event, Clinton met with the group for about 15 minutes in a private meeting that they claim turned contentious at times, and featured Clinton giving unsolicited advice for the direction of the movement.

1. That article was written afterward.

[WillyT]

3. And ???

The author from The New Republic stated that he had received their plans BEFORE the event.

4. No, what they're stating is...

That they got the first inside scoop of what questions were asked at the meeting. Not that they got it before the meeting.

7. UM...

Keene, New Hampshire (CNN) - Hillary Clinton met with five #BlackLivesMatter members on Tuesday in New Hampshire after the group was not allowed into the presidential candidate's forum on substance abuse.

After her event here, Clinton met with the group for 15 minutes, according to Daunasia Yancey, founder of #BlackLivesMatter in Boston. Yancey said that the group felt the meeting was positive, but still has more questions for Clinton on her family's role in mass incarceration and drug policy.

"We did have a couple of particular questions that we wanted to ask her, and we were able to do so, and she was able to respond," Yancey told a handful of reporters after the meeting. "We asked the secretary about her and her family's history with the war on drugs both at home and abroad and how she felt about her involvement in that violence that has been perpetuated, especially against communities of color and against black folks."

Yancey added that she never heard "a reflection on her part in perpetuating white supremacist violence."

"She did acknowledge that there are policies that she has been a part of promoting that have not worked," Yancey added, but said that Clinton's response was a "political" one.

"I am sure she understands. She is a brilliant woman," she said. "I think she gave the answer she wanted to give."

The #BlackLivesMatter protesters were coming to Tuesday's event to ask Clinton questions during her public forum about mass incarceration. After the protesters told a reporter from The New Republic that they were attending, the protesters showed up slightly before the event started and, according to the Clinton campaign, were not allowed into the main event because the room has been shut down due to capacity by the United States Secret Service.

A Secret Service agent on site confirmed this to CNN.

[hootinholler]

5. So it's ok for Hillary to whitesplain?

featured Clinton giving unsolicited advice for the direction of the movement.

Yeah, off camera, I bet she had some advice.

[Hydra]

6. How very polite of them

I thought they were anti-MSM?

[jalan48]

9. Nice, that was certainly "managed" well.

[NYC Liberal]

10. What's the problem? They obviously knew they weren't getting in ...

Hillary has Secret Service protection; other candidates do not.

Is there an issue here?

11. What is your point?

[slipslidingaway]

13. Appears the campaign had advance warning and then the activists were late. n/t

[NuclearDem]

15. Obvious proof that BLM is nothing but a bunch of Clinton/Soros plants out to sabotage Sanders.

There, figured I'd cut through the cutesy "I'm not sayin'" crap.

18. Ho-ly Shit--thank you for that

14. Patrice Cullors. Is she the non-profit embezzler...

or the white tears sipper? I may thinking of another co-founder, don't remember the name. Hmm.

[NCTraveler]

16. She is a gay POC who has worked extremely hard to bring us to a more just place.

She was kicked out of her house when she came out. Her brothers treatment in jail was a big part of her pushing for equal rights. She is one of the founders of BLM and works with numerous organizations. You simply don't deserve her good work and tears. Though she will keep fighting anyway. She is doing it for all of us, even those in opposition as you are clearly stating here.

The marginalization of those who dare to stand up is a time-honored tradition in this country. You went to that tactic so fast you aren't even sure what angle of marginalization you should take. Throw a couple out and hope one hits its mark.
