FEEL THE BOOS: Wasserman Schultz Gets Drowned Out With Jeers at Convention Opening Breakfast

This was supposed to be one of the biggest and brightest days for Debbie Wasserman Schultz: day one of the Democratic National Convention to nominate the first female candidate from a major party in American history.

Instead, the embattled chair of the DNC has been forced to resign just days after Wikileaks released tens of thousands of incriminating emails that suggest efforts from within to target Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders during the primary.

And on Monday morning when Wasserman Schultz got up to speak at a delegate breakfast for her home state of Florida, she was met with exactly the reaction you would expect: a crowd of overly enthusiastic boos, jeers, and taunts.

“Thank you so much! Good morning Florida!” Wasserman Schultz said through a forced smile in the face of her detractors. “It is so wonderful to be able to be here with my home state.” She eventually pleaded, “Alright everybody now settle down please.”

At one point a leading delegate in the room had to take to the podium in an effort to calm the crowd, urging the people in the room to ease up on Wasserman Schultz so that, “Debbie can speak.” She finally earned some cheers when she invoked popular leftist ideals, like sensible gun legislation and electing Democrats up and down the ballot in November.

The RATS are so divided!!!

Let me guess. No ham or bacon was served at this breakfast.

Debbie has spoken—with her emails and the emails of her staff.

At the end of the day policy discussions don’t matter if the person presenting them is a dirtbag.

Poor Debbie couldn’t get them to shut up even with a pathetic moment of silence request for dead children. Karma, b****. Like you care about that nightclub shooting.

Bit early in the morning, but maybe they were just calling out for more booze.

Watched the raw video. People were holding up signs “E-MAIL” while they were booing. Fun stuff. :-)

Some posts just put a smile on your face.

When Hillary said “More booze”...

[BigEdLB]

The Bern is really being felt...

The media (namely CNN) did their best to minimize the damage. They took a tight shot of DWS; never opened up to show the whole crowd.

CNN would have done the exact opposite if this was a Republican problem / scandal / crime.

Is she still a Senator ?

They left out the rope concession stand.

Just watched the video. She is definitely not welcomed. Good to see the rejection.
