If true, this is wrong

From a Facebook thread, it appears that they are blocking Bernie delegates from California and giving their seats away to other people. If they did this to all the Bernie delegates, that is wrong. Not all of the delegates are being disruptive. Last night, it seems like it was only a handful of disruptive delegates. I don't condone the heckling but excluding all of the delegates who support a candidate based on the acts of a few is just as wrong.

"Reporters outnumbered the demonstrators. Many in the crowd could be heard asking, "Who is Nina Turner?" or incorrectly describing her biography."

Who shows up at an event in order to ruin it, and then complains that they were not let in?

So if some assholes in the CA delegation - or any other - are planning to do that tonight, then I hope those individuals are thrown out on those selfsame asses, as they most thoroughly deserve to be.

Time and place for everything. We have free speech rights, but we also have free listening rights.

Stand outside the Arena and shout at the top of your lungs. Don't vote for Hillary if you're that offended. Hell, go work for Trump for all I care, but no one would throw a party, and welcome folks who want to shit in the punchbowl.
