Bernie Sanders was in Seattle in June of 2015 when two women from the Black Lives Matter group interrupted the Vermont senator during his speech on stage.

Bernie looked stunned, and cautiously turned over the microphone. Those two women may have tried to use the platform to point out the faults in Bernie, but it ended up helping him tremendously.

The incident got national media attention and a lot of people started following Bernie after that speech. Bernie embraced the Black Lives Matter movement after that and really tried to show the African American community that he was in their corner.

Bernie is technically still in the race, but has little chance to win. He has run a masterful campaign because he was able to take events like this one and turn them around for the good of the campaign.
