WATCH: Chants of ‘No More War’ Drown out Panetta Speech at DNC
(MEE) The former head of the CIA and President Obama’s ex-defence secretary Leon Panetta was left speechless by anti-war chants at the Democratic national convention on Wednesday.
In a rowdy convention that has seen supporters of Bernie Sanders booing speakers who hailed the party’s nominee Hillary Clinton, and with noisy protests outside the convention hall in Philadelphia, Panetta was the latest party establishment figure to face the wrath of delegates.
In his speech, Panetta said Clinton was the only candidate with a comprehensive plan to defeat the Islamic State group and said her Republican opponent Donald Trump “asks our troops to commit war crimes, endorses torture, spurns our allies from Europe to Asia…and he praises dictators from Saddam Hussein to Vladimir Putin.”
However chants of “no more war” and “lies” could be heard growing louder from the floor as anti-war delegates forced him to stop his speech.
