A protest didn't interrupt the Democratic frontrunner's speech. Black Lives Matter protesters disrupt Clinton speech The Democratic front-runner keeps talking as protests press on.

Protesters with the Black Lives Matter movement disrupted Hillary Clinton's speech in Atlanta on Friday, yelling over her as she tried to talk about civil rights leaders.

"I have been meeting with the activists of Black Lives Matter," Clinton said, trying to speak as the protesters chanted. "But I'm going to recognize some of the women of the civil rights movement."


The group chanted "Black Lives Matter" for nearly 15 minutes, drowning Clinton out, before being escorted from the room.

Black Lives Matter, which is demanding that Democrats directly and forcefully pursue changes to the criminal justice system and address police conduct after a series of brutality cases nationwide, has interrupted the 2016 candidates multiple times.

"I appreciate their passion," Clinton said after they were out of the room, "but I'm sorry they didn't listen because some of what they're demanding, I am offering."
