Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) was forced to cancel a rally in her home state on Sunday in response to a raucous Black Lives Matter protest, which lasted for over an hour and featured protesters taking over the stage after “a deal” between the protesters and the campaign fell apart. Video of the incident has circulated widely online.
The home state protest of Klobuchar was fueled by her past role as a prosecutor in the conviction of an African-American teenager, Myon Burrell, who, activists believe, may have been wrongly convicted. Amid growing attention on the case, protesters converged on Klobuchar’s rally in St. Louis Park, Minnesota on Sunday evening.
