California Delegates Boo Speakers At The Mention Of Uniting To Elect Clinton

Talking Points Memo:

California delegates booed a lineup of speakers Monday at a breakfast for the state's delegation when urged to unite to elect Hillary Clinton, while the mention of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) elicited cheers, Roll Call reported.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Rep. Michael Honda (R-CA) were among the speakers who were booed. The crowd began protesting whenever uniting to elect Clinton was mentioned, Roll Call reported.

Some delegates also began chanting, "Bernie, Bernie, Bernie!" during Rep. Barbara Lee's (D-CA) speech, according to the report, and a sign supporting Sanders was thrust into Pelosi's face.

"I don't consider it a discourtesy even if it is intended as one," the minority leader reportedly said.

Rep. Mike Honda with a GOPer.

As for ANY delegates who boo ANYONE who suggests unity at the Dem Convention, F*** them!

Hopefully they will be removed and their credentials revoked if they cannot behave themselves on the floor of the Convention.

They are NOT Democrats. If they can't see the danger that Trump represents by now, then let them wallow in their own mud with others of like mind.

Bernie LOST. Period.
