Sanders supporters demand apology at Nev. delegation meeting

PHILADELPHIA — Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison, a longtime Bernie Sanders supporter who has endorsed Hillary Clinton, attempted to preach a message of unity at the Nevada delegation breakfast this morning.
Ellison said it was OK to “duke it out” in the primary, but it’s time to come together. “We got to be real crystal clear on what’s in front of us,” Ellison said, describing Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump as a “fascist dictator.”
He didn’t get far into his message, though.
Less than halfway through his speech, Ellison was interrupted by members of Nevada’s Sanders delegation, who pointed to discord at state Democratic convention and the recent WikiLeaks release of emails as reasons they still don’t trust the party.
