Showing Original Post only (View all)The Hill is now reporting on Tlaib booing Clinton at a Sanders event [View all]
There are a couple of other threads about this already, but just linking to tweets.
It's now being picked up by the news media.

Michigan Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D) booed former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton during a live campaign event for presidential candidate Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) in Iowa on Friday.
The moment happened toward the end of a panel discussion with Tlaib and Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn) and Pramila Jayapal (D-Wash.) at Sanders's first "Caucus Concert," which featured a performance by Bon Iver in Clive, Iowa, ahead of Monday's caucus.
All three lawmakers have endorsed Sanders in the 2020 Democratic presidential primary and have spent time campaigning for him. During Friday night's event, the lawmakers mostly spent the time on stage discussing a number of progressive issues, including climate change.
At the end of their discussion, activist Dionna Langford, who was serving as moderator, mentioned Clinton recently saying "nobody likes [Sanders]," eliciting boos from the audience.
Langford sought to quell the booing, saying: "We're not gonna boo, we're not gonna boo. We're classy here."
That was when Tlaib jumped in, laughingly saying: "I'll boo. Boo."
"You all know I can't be quiet," Tlaib added. "The haters will shut up on Monday when we win."

Obviously, despite what Langford said, some of the people there were anything but classy.

Didn't Sanders himself put out a video that he was not well liked? Why after HRC?
