Sanders delegates boo Bernie when he tells them to vote for Hillary, Washington Free Beacon, Timothy P. Carney, July 25, 2016

PHILADELPHIA — Bernie Sanders’ supporters booed and interrupted the Vermont senator when he told the crowd of thousands to vote for Hillary Clinton.

“We have got to elect Hillary Clinton president,” Sanders said in a rally announcing a new grassroots undertaking. Immediately, boos loudly rained down in the giant ballroom at the Pennsylvania Convention Center.

The boos interrupted Sanders for half a minute as energetic Sanders volunteers and delegates screamed that they wouldn’t support Clinton. “Never Her! Never Her!” parts of the crowd chanted.

“Real politics are not that sexy,” Sanders said to calm the crowd down.

Some in the crowd even booed Sanders, the candidate they support, as he walked off the stage.

Justin Snider, a Sanders delagate from Texas, said, “I’m for Bernie. I’m not with him on what he said today.”

Other Sanders backers were more sanguine. “What we heard from him today is that we’re in the real world,” Kit Andrews, a Sanders organizer from Vermont. “She won the election.”
