Two Democrat contenders for their party’s nomination, Bernie Sanders and Martin O’Malley, are at Netroots Nation 2015 in Phoenix, Arizona. Also present are #BlackLivesMatter protesters and a whole lotta irony:
Brief argument breaks out on floor during Bernie speech. Some white attendees ask black attendees to be quiet. They keep shouting. #nn15

Asked what he's passed to help black people, Sanders starts talking about Affordable Care Act. Protester: "We can't afford that!" #NN15
