Ellen Faden, who created a local chapter of the Sanders-aligned group Our Revolution in Hazlet, N.J., created an event to protest Clinton’s March 29 speech at Rutgers University. She reportedly expected only a small turnout, but the event quickly spread on social media, NBC reported.

Democrats and Sanders's senior adviser, Jeff Weaver, condemned the event and called for it to be canceled.

“Our Revolution and Senator Sanders operate independently,” Weaver told NBC in a statement. “That being said, this is no time to be protesting Hillary Clinton or any Democrat.”

Faden said Monday she is working to remove the event from the Our Revolution website and Facebook.

Clinton defeated Sanders in the 2016 Democratic primary to earn the party's presidential nomination. However, many of Sanders's supporters were hesitant to embrace her as the candidate, prompting significant protests outside the Democratic National Convention.

Those intraparty tensions have lingered, with more progressive Democrats in some cases challenging longtime party representatives.
