NEVADA: Chaos At Democratic Convention

Supporters of Bernie Sanders turned today’s Nevada Democratic Convention into a screaming mess. The Hill reports:

Tensions were high at the Democratic convention in Nevada Saturday, with Bernie Sanders supporters demanding delegate recounts, booing Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) and causing other disruptions, according to local media reports.

Sanders supporters were angry over a voice vote that adopted a set of temporary convention rules as the permanent rules, according to the Las Vegas Sun. And supporters also reacted angrily to the count of delegates attending the convention, which put Clinton at an advantage.

Boxer, a Hillary Clinton supporter, said among booing from the crowd “the future of the country is at stake. When you boo me, you’re booing Bernie Sanders. Go ahead. You’re booing Bernie Sanders.”

The vote on rules led to supporters flocking the front of the convention room and shouting “this is fixed” and “no confidence” at party officials.
