Bernie Sanders gets booed after endorsing Hillary Clinton
Ahead of the start of the Democratic National Convention, Bernie Sanders held court in Philadelphia before a large group of supporters in an appearance that showed the party still has a steep hill to climb in uniting.

Sanders fans loudly cheered the moment along with the Vermont senator.

But later, when Sanders offered an explicit endorsement of Clinton, his supporters weren't happy with the call, loudly booing as he said, "We have got to elect Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine." As the jeering lingered, Sanders waved a hand, calling the supporters, "brother and sisters," and continued to speak, underscoring his thoughts on Trump as a "bully and a demagogue."

Just moments later, the crowd interrupted Sanders' speech with a loud chant of "We want Bernie." Sanders offered a "thank you" and continued speaking.

The crowd reaction was another bump in what's already started out as a rough first 24 hours in Philadelphia for the Democrats following extensive protests by Sanders supporters on Sunday.
Later Monday, Wasserman Schultz announced she would not bring the convention to order, a move likely aimed to help the party avoid an incident such as one last week's at the Republican convention in which Ted Cruz was loudly booed by Donald Trump delegates during his primetime speech.
Instead, Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake will have the honor.
