Faux News: Bernie "supporters" planning to boo Michelle Obama

If this is true it is unbelievably obnoxious and thoroughly disrespectful of the president and First Lady. Faux News is of course hysterically reporting the "disastrous collapse" of the dem convention and the party. They are breathlessly reporting that Bernie supporters are planning to boo and jeer at Michelle Obama's speech (including every mention of Hillary's name). If this is true, and if Michelle Obama is booed, (I simply can't believe that this is happening), then the Bernie supporters are appalling narcissists for loudly booing and disrupting speeches so that they hijack and crash right into the ground the media coverage. Unbelievable.

Now Faux is showing a TRUMP SPEECH ABOUT THE EMAILS. Every single time the Bernie supporters boo a speaker it is being shown over and over again. Obviously Faux News isn't going to cover the convention fairly but the Bernie supporters are giving them way, way, way too much ammo.

If you supported Bernie and his positions during the primary, I'm sorry. No one deserves to have their movement/positions marred by the actions of a few on national television.

But they're still screaming "BERNIE" over every single speaker the minute they say Hillary's name. Still being disrespectful, rude, and boorish.

anyone wanna take bets that that toilet of a 'news' network will simply pipe in some booing artificially while Mrs. Obama speaks?

I agree with everyone else though - anyone who boos this incredibly admirable lady can go fuck themselves with a rusty rake.

about the Michelle Obama story. It is frustrating b/c CNN is still spewing talking points as well.

If they do I'll bet that will be the first thing out of his mouth . We all know Trump has to payback somebody because his wife was embarrassed, even though Michelle was minding her own business and his wife was a copycat. I have been waiting to see what is his big payback.

I don't think they are any such thing. They are green infiltrators or Trump people. No other sort would boo the first lady. If they do this...they are done with any movement.
