Watch: Hillary Clinton Delegate Claims 'Manipulation' at Controversial Nevada Dem Convention That Angered Sanders Supporters

Clinton delegate Pat Barrett told The Young Turks that the last minute rule changes were unjust.


An awful lot has been said about the chaos at the Nevada convention last week.

"Debbie Wasserman-Schultz wants you to believe that there was incredible violence and that was all that there was at Nevada, with Bernie Bros threatening to tear down the whole house and set it on fire,” said the Young Turks host John Iadarola.

There was more to it than that, he pointed out. "They don’t actually show that the rules were clearly manipulated. There’s video evidence which we’ve shown. They won’t admit that and all the news reports about it won’t admit that either," Iadarola added.

they shouldn't have booed during the aye thus making the aye pass. It was a basic lack of understanding of voice votes that caused them to shoot themselves in the foot.

So here goes:

All you evil Bernibros are massively violent, sexist, racist, juvenile idiots who just want to meet boys.

Where do I go to get my check?
