Bernie Sanders supporters hound Miss. Democratic delegates
“She fell on her sword, and she took the hit,” Jacobs said. “That shouldn’t derail the party. We’re here to talk about saving our planet, clean air, clean water, equal pay for equal work – the issues that we’re here for are not about some triviality like who wrote what email.”
Mississippi delegates said they’re less concerned about Schultz and more concerned about the disruptive behavior of Sanders’ supporters. Some Mississippi delegates said Sanders’ supporters have verbally attacked them.
Sykes said several supporters cursed at her earlier in the day.
“They kept saying Bernie is the only one who can beat (Donald) Trump,” she said.
Jacobs said a swarm of them followed her down a city street. “It was scary,” she said. “I was hounded by 40 of them.”
