Amy Klobuchar rally cancelled after campaign, protesters can’t come to agreement

An Amy Klobuchar campaign rally was cancelled after the campaign could not come to an agreement with protesters Sunday night in St. Louis Park.

A campaign official said Klobuchar offered the protest group a meeting with the Senator. After initially agreeing, the spokesperson said the group backed out of the agreement. 

Protesters chanted “Free Myon” for Myon Burrell, who they say was wrongfully prosecuted for the 2002 murder of a child. “Black Lives Matter” chants also filled the room before the rally began.

The activists have called on Klobuchar to quit the presidential campaign over the last few weeks.
