Angry supporters of Bernie Sanders continued to air their grievances during the final night of the DNC.
Two days after the candidacy of Bernie Sanders officially came to an end, supporters of the Vermont senator made their displeasure known on the final night of the Democratic National Convention – holding up signs saying “liar” and chanting “no more war” during speeches.
Across the Wells Fargo Center, many Sanders' delegates also wore neon yellow, glow-in-the-dark t-shirts with the words, "Enough is Enough" written on them.
However, Sanders delegates received a text message from the Sanders organization asking them to be respectful throughout the evening.
"On Monday when Bernie gave his speech to the Democratic Convention, Secretary Clinton's campaign asked her supporters to be respectful and they were. As a courtesy to Bernie, our campaign would greatly appreciate it if you would extend the same respect during Secretary Clinton's speech," read the text.
Convention authorities had coordinated with other delegates how to drown out the chants of the Bernie supporters.
During Clinton's speech there was sporadic shouting from the crowd that was quickly drowned out by chants of "Hillary."
A few delegates in the California section yelled, "Jill not Hill," in support of Green Party candidate Jill Stein, while others chose to walk out.
Several Sanders backers altered signs distributed by convention staff that say "Hillary," changing them to read, "Liar." A number of Californians also held signs directed at Clinton that said "Walk the walk."
