"The Bernie delegates are shouting down EVERY speaker in the CA breakfast at this point."

Saw this Twitter post on Reddit. Tweeted by a CA delegate for Hillary, Rachel@the_dol


The Bernie delegates are shouting down EVERY speaker in the CA breakfast at this point. They are appalling and rude. #DNCinPHL

I know the message of the moment is unity, but not everyone are sheep who fall in lockstep. We are not Republicans.

folks who aren't shouting down speakers are "sheep?"

Making sure that was what you meant.

and ejection.

The Convention has business to attend to . They can protest outside to their bitter little hearts content.

At the delegate welcome party, where I volunteered. Most of them seemed reasonable and not Bernie or Bust, and agreed that acting up would just embarrass Bernie. But a few seemed more militant. They are probably the ones causing the disruption.

At one point at the party, some of the Bernie delegates started chanting "Bernie! Bernie!" but it didn't get contentious. It felt more like a celebration of what he had accomplished in getting so many delegates there.

its not a trump rally, its a democratic convention. If they can not deal with it they should not be here.
