Nah. This is the better course. Make her explain herself and apologize. morningfog Feb 2016 #11

actually that is what Hillary was talking about when disrupted.... and Ashley is an indie protester bettyellen Feb 2016 #27

That information was in an email I received today. leftofcool Feb 2016 #35

Yet, most of its members are supporting what she did. eom Fawke Em Feb 2016 #54

Cool, I am all for protest! It did not seem she wanted answers any more than they did when bettyellen Feb 2016 #72

Wrong. BillZBubb Feb 2016 #109

the protest had to do with his lack of attention to POC- he had not yet said anything about race at bettyellen Feb 2016 #113
