Presidential Hopeful Bernie Sanders Responds To Seattle Rally Interruption In LA Visit (video link)

Democratic presidential hopeful Bernie Sanders’ LA rally drew a massive crowd to the Los Angeles Sports Arena on Monday night.

Sanders, currently serving as senator from Vermont, spoke to the roaring crowd as part of an unpredictably hot campaign that continues to heat up.

The 73-year-old took the opportunity Monday evening to obliquely address the incident that occurred in Seattle over the weekend, in which another large Sanders campaign rally was interrupted by protesters from the group Black Lives Matter.

“There is no president, none, one year after the death of Michael Brown, no president who will fight harder to end institutional racism that I will,” Sanders said. “(There is) no president who will push harder for fundamental changes in our criminal justice system.”
