Progressives in the Democratic Party feel betrayed by Senator Elizabeth Warren for her endorsement of Hillary Clinton and last night at the Democratic National Convention they let her know it.
Warren’s speech was repeatedly interrupted by boos and various chants such as “we trusted you.”

‘We trusted you!’: Elizabeth Warren repeatedly heckled, booed during DNC speech
Sen. Elizabeth Warren was repeatedly heckled Monday night as she delivered a speech endorsing Hillary Clinton to the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia.
“We trusted you! We trusted you!” chanted factions of the audience comprised of individuals who were apparent supporters of Bernie Sanders and were seemingly upset with Warren’s endorsement of Clinton.
Loud boos and jeers came soon after, when the Massachusetts senator said it was imperative that Clinton and Tim Kaine, her running mate, were elected to the White House.
And toward the end of Warren’s speech, the more progressive delegates began chanting again.
“Goldman Sachs! Goldman Sachs!” portions of the crowd chanted.

The idea of party unity among Democrats being pushed by some people is a myth.
People are really angry.
