Is it my imagination or did some alt left people boo John lewis at the dnc?

[La Lioness Priyanka]

Or was that just for Elijah Cummings?

I remember civil rights heroes being booed at the convention this year. Pretty sure it happened to lewis, but can someone confirm or disconfirm?

1. I clearly remember John Lewis being booed at the DNC.

When I Googled, first thing that came up was The Boone County Democrat from September where a delegate described it: "When John Lewis got up to speak, he was booed continuously throughout his speech by Sanders supporters."

2. Party conservatives might have done it

WTF is the "alt left" supposed to be and how would it ever get into the DNC?

[bravenak]

3. Definately not your imagination

I remember CLEARLY people right here calling him a sell out

4. Occupiers refused to let him speak during the Occupy Wall Street protests as well

That was when I lost respect for the Occupy movement
