A brawl broke out between two attendees of a Bernie Sanders rally in Colorado on Sunday evening.
The fight, which broke out while the presidential candidate was speaking at the Colorado Convention Center in Denver and was captured on video, happened after a Sanders supporter confronted another man wearing a T-shirt that said “Black Guns Matter.”
The man wearing the shirt, who is black, told KCNC he was recording the Sanders rally when the other man came up to him and called him a “racist.”
“He had a problem with the shirt I was wearing,” the man, who did not identify himself to the channel, said. “I was recording the event, he walks up and calls me a racist. But I thought, ‘What’s he know about black lives, about discrimination, or, for that matter, the representation of the shirt.'”
The confrontation quickly escalated, with the fight spilling over a metal barrier and the two men falling onto the ground not far from the rally crowd.
