Supporters of Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders had no interest in hearing former President Bill Clinton speak at the Democratic National Convention — they were too busy protesting in the streets surrounding the Wells Fargo Arena. While demonstrating against the nomination of Hillary Clinton as the Democratic Party’s nominee, Sanders supporters took to burning the American flag in the street.
