Clinton Delegate Claims 'Manipulation' at Nevada Dem Convention That Angered Sanders Supporters

"An awful lot has been said about the chaos at the Nevada convention last week.

"Debbie Wasserman-Schultz wants you to believe that there was incredible violence and that was all that there was at Nevada, with Bernie Bros threatening to tear down the whole house and set it on fire,” said the Young Turks host John Iadarola.

There was more to it than that, he pointed out. "They don’t actually show that the rules were clearly manipulated. There’s video evidence which we’ve shown. They won’t admit that and all the news reports about it won’t admit that either," Iadarola added.


Iadarola realizes that people might not take his word for it, so he located a HIllary Clinton delegate who was also shocked and dismayed by last minute rule changes and shady goings on.

“We had done absolutely everything—done it on time, had the state office confirm it a- and mysteriously in an email that went out Wednesday our names weren’t there," said Clinton delegate Pat Barrett. "When I went to try to correct it, I was given lots of various information - really no one seemed to now what was going on.”

“Eventually, I ended up in a long line outside the credentials committee room. Everyone got to go in - it was very interesting - but I stood and waited for four hours. They put [my name] back on [the list] and then an hour later when we were voting in the district rooms, my husband’s name was mysteriously taken off again,” Barrett revealed.

But why did the names disappear in the first place? "
