Larry Wilmore Chides Black Lives Matters Protesters
At a recent campaign rally in Seattle, Democratic presidential candidate, Sen. Bernie Sanders was interrupted by Black Lives Matter protesters. The senator ceded the stage and left without giving a speech.
On The Nightly Show, host Larry Wilmore made fun of those protesters, saying, “These women are from Black Lives Matter, who had an issue with the Sanders campaign not paying enough attention to their agenda. Now, ladies I agree that Black Lives Matter, but black manners matter as well,” he said, to hesitant laughter and applause from the audience. Of course, Wilmore also had some fun at the expense of the Bernie Sanders campaign, which has attracted a largely white following: “If a Bernie Sanders rally was a Ben & Jerry’s ice cream flavor, it would be ‘Nilla, Please.’”
The Nightly Show With Larry Wilmore airs weeknights at 11:30 p.m. on Comedy Central.
