2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: It's pretty hilarious/sad to see Bernie fans hypothesize about who MLK would support. [View all]notadmblnd
(23,720 posts)252. I think you're mis-remembering
I saw Senator Sanders cede the podium to BLM. I saw Senator Sanders bow his head when a moment of silence was called for by BLM.
I also think that you can no more blame Senator Sanders for some of his (alleged) supporters behavior any more than I could hold you responsible for your next door neighbors behavior.
I'm certain the video of that day is still posted here, perhaps you might consider giving it another view?
As long as we're all guessing what MLK would do- I also don't think MLK would praise BLM for their behavior that day.

Reality is, if MLK was alive today, he would be endorsing his fellow Democratic socialist.
