“Hundreds of supporters of Bernie Sanders drowned out the Vermont senator with boos Monday as he tried to make the case on the first day of the Democratic National Convention that his fans would need to vote for Hillary Clinton in order to defeat Donald J. Trump.” the New York Times reports.
“At a meeting filled with Sanders delegates, Mr. Sanders tried to convince those gathered that Mr. Trump, the Republican nominee for president, was dangerous and a threat to the Constitution and that, as a result, they needed to vote for Mrs. Clinton… However, his words were immediately met with loud boos which lasted several seconds even as he tried to continue his speech. The senator then paused and waited for people to quiet down. But as he spoke, many continued to sign loudly and shake their heads.”
