| Upset Sanders supporters converge on media tents | |
| Scott Bixby | |
| Hundreds of disgruntled supporters of Vermont senator Bernie Sanders stormed the media tents after former secretary of state Hillary Clinton officially clinched the Democratic presidential nomination, immediately staging a sit-in in the central media filing center as local and state law-enforcement officials appeared unsure what to do. | |
| The protest began a few minutes after Sanders nominated Clinton by acclamation, with dissatisfied supporters of the runner-up candidate leaving Wells Fargo Arena in droves. The exits of the arena are less than 100 feet from the entry to the tents. | |
| It was several minutes after the initial entrance of protestors until the pounding of state troopers could be heard outside the stalls reserved for members of the press, by which time more than roughly 300 protestors had taken up shop in the B Tent, the central tent home to foreign press, USA Today and other outlets. | |
| Asked whether there had been a plan in place in case the unguarded media tents were used as a protest venue by frustrated convention attendees, Jeffrey Rabinovitch, a lieutenant with the Philadelphia Police Department, told the Guardian that “the plan is in progress.” Other uniformed officers declined the question. | |
| Contrary to pre-convention expectations that had numerous media outlets putting reporters through hostile-environment training, protests at the Republican national convention in Cleveland amounted to little more than a carnival atmosphere, while the Democratic National Committee has struggled with logistics as simple as conveying delegates from one venue to another, much less crowd control. | |

| Here’s the Jimmy Carter video. He’s dressed in a dark suit with a dark tie. At 91 and after a bout with cancer last year, he looks relatively robust. | |
| “Rosa and I wish we could be there with you tonight,” Carter says. “Hillary Clinton has my support. I know she will have yours.” | |

| Obama: Trump likes Putin | |
| As congresswomen onstage talk about what they describe as the House Republicans’ benighted views on women’s health, Donald Trump has taken to Twitter to ensure the public that he does not stand personally to gain from any interests tied to the country tied to the leak of emails that this week created a giant headache for Hillary Clinton and the Democratic party. | |
| “Zero investments in Russia” seems like a good corollary campaign slogan? | |
| In order to try and deflect the horror and stupidity of the Wikileakes disaster, the Dems said maybe it is Russia dealing with Trump. Crazy! | |
| For the record, I have ZERO investments in Russia. | |
| How many Russian investment partners do you have though? https://t.co/5HqsngfpKv | |
| President Obama himself weighed in on the topic Tuesday, in an interview with NBC”s Savannah Guthrie. He said the source and motive of the DNC emails hack is unclear, but, “What I do know is that-- Donald Trump has repeatedly expressed admiration for-- Vladimir Putin”: | |
| SAVANNAH GUTHRIE: Do you believe the Russians are, number one, behind that hack and the release, and that they’re actually trying to interfere with the U.S. political elections? | |
| PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: Well-- I think the F.B.I.’s still investigating-- what happened. I know that experts have attributed this to the Russians. What we do know is is that the Russians hack our systems. Not just government systems, but private systems. But-- you know, what the motives were in terms of the leaks, all that-- I can’t say directly. What I do know is that-- Donald Trump has repeatedly expressed admiration for-- Vladimir Putin. | |
