(145,264 posts)Delegates are vetted carefully by campaigns. I was a Clinton delegate and I know I was vetted. The only vetting that I saw was that the Sanders campaign removed one duly elected sanders delegate because that delegate would not say that he hated Hillary Clinton. This occurred at the Texas Democratic Convention but this delegate was allowed to attend as a guest due to the poor treatment of this young man by the Sanders campaign.
I do not think that this was isolated incident. There was a coordinated plan to attack Congressman John Lewis and the delegates who led this plan were evidently leaders in the Sanders delegation and they were proud of these attacks
For example, the idiots on JPR are very proud of this stunt https://jackpineradicals.com/boards/topic/hey-john-lewis-karmas-a-mf-aint-it/
I saw other incidents including having a group of Sanders delegates scream obscenities at my daughter and called her the C-Word.
This conduct is evidently acceptable for "progressives".
