PHILADELPHIA — Bernie Sanders supporters wrongfully entered the media tent Day 2 of the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.
Protestors sat in groups inside the tent, some silent and some vocal about their disappointment that Clinton was nominated as the presidential nominee.

Police officers soon cordoned off the tents and were ready with zip ties and hand cuffs to make sure things didn’t go out of control.

“Now we have to vote between the most dangerous man and a dishonest woman for president of the United States,” said Colorado Delegate, Caitlin Gladwell, 22. She was protesting inside the media tent.
These protests started right after the roll call and the official nomination of the first woman presidential candidate.
They were slowly let out of the tent after about a half hour standstill on the road.
