Sanders gets booed as he urges supporters to vote for Clinton

Bernie Sanders provoked outrage from his supporters on Monday after he declared that the time has come for them to elect presumptive Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton and vice-presidential nominee Tim Kaine.

"Immediately, right now, we have got to defeat Donald Trump. And we have got to elect Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine," Sanders said at a Philadelphia rally, drawing boos and subsequent chants of "We want Bernie."


Sanders raised his right hand as if to hush the crowd, before remarking, "Brothers and sisters ... brothers and sisters, this is, this is the real world that we live in."

"Trump is a bully and a demagogue. Trump, Trump has made bigotry and hatred the cornerstone of his campaign," Sanders said. "Throughout this campaign, he has insulted Mexicans and Latinos, he has insulted Muslims, he has insulted women and African-Americans."

As the crowd grew more vocal, Sanders paused, raising his right hand again.

"Trump does not respect the Constitution of the United States or civil liberties. That is not just my opinion. That is what many conservative Republicans believe. Trump is a danger for the future of our country and must be defeated," Sanders declared, as some applauded. "And I intend to do everything that I can to see that he is defeated."
