8:21Now PlayingA prominent Bernie Sanders surrogate says she was kicked off the Democratic National Convention program by the Clinton campaign. Former Ohio State Senator Nina Turner was reportedly scheduled to participate in the nomination process of Sanders before the rollcall vote on Tuesday. But when she arrived at the convention that afternoon, Turner saw that nobody from the Democratic Party was there to greet her or facilitate her appearance. Turner told Mother Jones she heard from Sanders that the Clinton campaign did not want her on the stage. At a press conference at the Wells Fargo Center on Wednesday, Nina Turner’s supporters gathered to express their solidarity with her, saying this was just the latest slight to the entire Sanders movement. The group included actors Danny Glover, Susan Sarandon, and Rosario Dawson. Inside the convention hall, many Sanders delegates donned stickers reading "I’m with Nina". They said this is not the only time their voices have been silenced by the Clinton campaign they claim the Clinton crowd is dismissing the entire Sanders wing of the Democratic Party. On Wednesday, Democracy Now!’s Deena Guzder and Elizabeth Press filed this report.
