Texas Delegation Breakfast Tuesday Morning

The chairman started off at 8:35 and was allowing the heads of each campaign to speak. Jacob Limon, head of the Sanders delegation gave a few words. The Sanders delegates came in linked arm and arm and walked on the stage. A member of the delegation, Russell W, Lytie, was allowed to speak for the group of delegates on the stage. He spoke about being a Democrat first and how we all wanted to work together. He also said that the Sanders delegates wanted to sit down with the Clinton delegates and talk about working together.

Mind you, the Clinton delegates were still angry from the prior night's behavior. The booing. The interrupting of speeches. His words were fine, until the end.

"I condemn the presumptive nominee."

As the delegation is 2/3  Clinton Delegates and 1/3 Sanders, all hell broke out. The Chairman shut him down as soon as that came out of his mouth.

Russell came around to our table and apologized for his poor choice of words. He said that he would be voting for Clinton, if she is the presumptive nominee. He also gave us his card.

We heard speeches form Leticia Van de Putte, Wendy Davis and Cecile Richards. But everyone was distracted by what had happened.

At least two other Sanders delegates were allowed to speak after the dignitaries and said the views of Russell do not support their views and they would be supporting Hillary 100%.

The head of the Bernie delegation, Jacob Limon came up and said that the Russell apologized and had returned his credentials.
