Jessica reports on a protest

Filed under: DNC Convention — bradleymonton @ 3:55 pm

At the Unconventional Women symposium on Monday, Speaker Pelosi was introduced and started talking about women in politics. Almost immediately, protesters imbedded in the crowd unfurled a big pink impeach bush banner and some signs against the Iraq war. They began shouting and security was called. The crowd responded with a wave of support for Pelosi by chanting “Nancy” and giving her a standing ovation. The protestors were ushered out by security and a few others who were embedded in the audience were escorted out, one screaming “women don’t torture”.

More reporting on Monday to follow…
