Bernie Sanders’ 13,500 Person Los Angeles Rally

Bernie Sanders’ Los Angeles Rally: The Pictures You Need to See
Stephanie Dube Dwilson
Heavy

Thousands upon thousands of people gathered at the Memorial Coliseum in Los Angeles on Saturday night for a Bernie Sanders rally. The AP estimated the number at 13,500. It's true that there's strength in numbers, because Bernie supporters showed that his campaign is only gaining momentum, not losing it. Despite a last-minute forced venue change that was outside of the campaign's control, all his supporters still found their way to the Coliseum to show their support.

Here's the thing, the rally was outside the coliseum. He couldn't get permission to go inside. They're literally on the grass between the coliseum and the museum.
