Supporters of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.) protested what they viewed as unfair practices by Hillary Clinton’s supporters at the Nevada Democratic Convention on Saturday.
According to the Las Vegas Sun, the dispute between supporters of Sanders and Clinton began when a voice vote occurred to replace the convention’s temporary rules as permanent. Sanders’ supporters began to chant, “This is fixed!” and “No confidence!”
The Hill obtained video via Facebook and Twitter of some of the action that occurred.
Sen. Barbara Boxer (D., Calif.) spoke to the crowd and was booed by Sanders supporters. Boxer is a well-known backer of Clinton.
