Susan Sarandon And Others Protest 'Slights' Against Bernie Sanders
PHILADELPHIA (CBS/AP) — "Bernie Sanders supporters, thank you. Thank you for supporting." said Susan Sarandon as she was swarmed by reporters on Wednesday.
Sarandon has been a vocal Bernie supporter and was seen leaving the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia after Hillary Clinton officially became the Democratic Presidential Nominee.
Sarandon, Danny Glover and Rosario Dawson are all protesting what they see as slights against Bernie Sanders supporters at the convention.
Sarandon at a brief press conference Wednesday evening said convention organizers scuttled planned remarks from prominent Sanders surrogate Nina Turner.
Turner is a former state senator from Ohio who hoped to announce Sanders' nomination Tuesday night even if rival Hillary Clinton had the votes to win.
Her supporters went to social media to say "I'm with Nina".
Sarandon said convention organizers are making it difficult to carry out "the will of Bernie Sanders' people."
