(145,291 posts)The booing of Congressman John Lewis at the National Convention was a planned event by he Sanders delegates. The Clinton delegates were warned about this stunt 15 minutes before this stunt occurred. Sanders was evidently asked to stop this stunt and refused.
There are videos of sanders delegates saying nasty things about Congressman Lewis that will surface if sanders runs in areas where Congressman Lewis is admired. There are some hard feeling about this stunt. The Texas and Georgia delegates shared a bus to the convention site. There was some real anger at this stunt.
