Susan Sarandon protests treatment of Sanders supporters

Actors Susan Sarandon, Danny Glover and Rosario Dawson are protesting what they see as slights against Bernie Sanders supporters at the Democratic convention in Philadelphia.

At a brief press conference Wednesday evening, Sarandon said convention organizers scuttled planned remarks from prominent Sanders surrogate Nina Turner.

Turner is a former state senator from Ohio who hoped to announce Sanders’ nomination Tuesday night even if rival Hillary Clinton had the votes to win.

Sarandon said convention organizers are making it difficult to carry out “the will of Bernie Sanders’ people.”
