Approximately 75 Black Lives Matters protesters disrupted the much-anticipated presidential town hall with Democratic candidates Governor Martin O'Malley and Senator Bernie Sanders. This video is the O'Malley segment at the town hall. It starts with softball questions and at 7-8 minutes, protesters start chanting "Black Lives Matter" and "Say Our Name" (in reference to the innocent black victims of police brutality). The protest started during O'Malley's segment of the town hall and spilled over into Sanders'. Moderator and undocumted journalist Jose Antonio Vargas stopped the town hall 10 minutes early. Hundreds of NN15 attendees were in the audience; many of them were older white progressive Bernie supporters.
