California Delegates Boo Clinton, Chant 'Bernie!' At DNC Breakfast
LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — It may be Hillary Clinton's week, but California delegates sound like they're still fired up for Bernie Sanders.
Hours before the Democratic National Convention officially kicks off in Philadelphia, attendees at a California delegation breakfast pounded on tables and chanted "Bernie!" in several videos posted to social media.
Former San Fernando Valley lawmaker and current Secretary of State Alex Padilla' comments at the breakfast were also drowned out by protesters.
