Black Lives Matter demonstrators are accusing mayoral candidate Andrew Yang of trying to engineer a political photo-op after he tried to participate in a Tuesday bike ride and vigil in response to the Minneapolis police killing of Daunte Wright, a 20-year-old unarmed Black man.
After riding his bike across the Brooklyn Bridge into Manhattan, the Democratic frontrunner, who has been criticized by progressives for calling for more policing in the wake of anti-Asian hate crimes, was forced to leave after being met with jeers and criticism by protesters.
