(173,620 posts)Delegates are vetted carefully by campaigns. Each candidate and each campaign has absolute approval rights over their delegates to the national convention. I was a Clinton delegate and I know I was vetted. The only vetting that I saw was that the Sanders campaign removed one duly elected sanders delegate because that delegate would not say that he hated Hillary Clinton. This occurred at the Texas Democratic Convention but this young man was allowed to attend to the National Convention as a guest of the Texas Democratic Party due to the poor treatment of this young man by the Sanders campaign.
I do not think that this was isolated incident. There was a coordinated plan to attack Congressman John Lewis at the National Convention and the delegates who led this plan were evidently leaders in the Sanders delegation and they were proud of these attacks. The Sanders delegated booed Congressman John Lewis when he was introduced and did their best to disrupt his speech. I was warned of the attack on Congressman John Lewis about 20 minutes before the attack occurred by my whip. Again, this was a stunt planned by the Sanders delegates. I heard that sanders knew about this plan stunt and refused to do anything about it.
The idiots on JPR are very proud of this stunt https://jackpineradicals.com/boards/topic/hey-john-lewis-karmas-a-mf-aint-it/
