'Scream night': Democrats get shouted down by their own activists over climate change
Story by Elena Schneider and Brakkton Booker • 8h
Democrats are scrambling to find their footing in the second Donald Trump era. But for 30 minutes on Thursday night, they struggled even to get through a party meeting.
The final forum of candidates running to lead the Democratic National Committee was derailed at numerous points by climate protesters — a reminder of the fractures still dividing a party reeling from its losses in November.
More than a dozen protesters, primarily affiliated with the Sunrise Movement, repeatedly stopped the DNC forum proceedings throughout the first 30 minutes. After five individual interruptions, six more protesters surged toward the stage, attempting to unfurl a banner, before they were forcibly removed.
The moderators — MSNBC hosts Jen Psaki, Jonathan Capehart and Symone Sanders-Townsend — grew visibly frustrated by the frequent outbursts, even as they readjusted questions to address climate change.
