Video taken at the Democratic Party National Convention Thursday night shows boos cascading down on Hillary Clinton from the upper level of the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia as she began her acceptance speech for the party’s presidential nomination.
Reporter Tim Pool with Fusion posted video to Twitter of the protest and the group of mostly Black protesters in white t-shirts (as opposed to the yellow-shirt Bernie Sanders delegate protesters) being ejected from the arena.
