During a breakfast for California delegates Monday morning, attendees pounded on the tables and chanted ‘Bernie!’
As silverware, plates and glasses clanked, the speaker attempted to calm down the crowd, repeatedly yelling, “Alright, alright, alright.”
“Come on,” she added, but they wouldn’t relent.

Another video shows a speaker pleading with the crowd, mistakenly asking, “Are we a Democratic family here?”
“No!” was the reply. “Count the votes!” they chanted.

Supporters of Bernie Sanders are absolutely furious, and rightly so, now that it has been proven that Hillary and Company attempted to rig the entire primary process in their favor. They are not going to be easily placated, if at all, as their convention officially opens tonight.
Clinton, 68, a former secretary of state, and Sanders, 74, an independent U.S. senator from Vermont who ran for president as a Democrat, waged a bruising months-long battle for the nomination. Branding himself a democratic socialist, Sanders galvanized young and liberal voters with his calls to rein in Wall Street and eradicate income inequality.
The raw video contains some scenes and language that some viewers might find upsetting, please view with caution.
But Sanders repeatedly voiced frustration with a DNC and party establishment he felt was stacked against him, and the resentment from Sanders and his supporters threatened to disrupt the convention.
“I’m not shocked but I’m disappointed,” Sanders said of the emails earlier on Sunday on ABC’s “This Week.”
The emails showed DNC officials pondering various ways to undercut Sanders. Brad Marshall, the DNC’s chief financial officer, apologized on Facebook on Saturday for an email in which he discussed how some voters in upcoming nominating contests in Kentucky and West Virginia would reject an atheist.
“He had skated on saying he has a Jewish heritage,” Marshall wrote in a May 5 email to three top DNC officials. No names were mentioned, but Sanders was the only Jewish candidate.
“I think I read he is an atheist. This could make several points difference with my peeps. My Southern Baptist peeps would draw a big difference between a Jew and an atheist.”
Clinton told CBS’s “60 Minutes” in an interview that aired on Sunday that she had not read any of the emails but it was “wrong and unacceptable” to bring religion into the political process.
