Democratic National Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz was heckled and booed by delegates at a pre-convention breakfast on Monday, just days after Wikileaks released seemingly damning emails. 

  • Democratic National Convention runs Monday through Thursday
  • List of speakers shows call for unity, efforts to compromise
  • Wikileaks emails casts shadow over proceedings

On Sunday Schultz announced  that she will be stepping down from her position and when she tried to give a speech at the breakfast on Monday, Sen. Bernie Sanders' delegates started to boo and heckle the Florida U.S. congresswoman. Protesters shouted "You have no values" and chanted "shame." 

Digital Media Producer Christie Zizo was at the Florida delegation breakfast this morning when Shultz made an appearance. She captured some of the scene with her iPhone. In the video, the crowd is shouting as Schultz tries to discuss the Fort Myers nightclub shooting.

Here is a transcript of the video:

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Shultz: "First of all I want to ask everybody to join me in acknowledging that we had a tragic shooting in Fort Myers yesterday."

Crowd member: "How dare you?"

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz: "There were children who were in harm’s way and people lost their lives."

(sound of gavel)

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz: "We know something in Florida about making sure that we can have the voices across our state heard." 

The outrage from Sanders supporters comes in the wake of thousands of DNC emails leaked to the public by Wikileaks on Friday. Those emails pointed to an effort by DNC staffers to undermine Sanders' campaign for the party's nomination and favor Hillary Clinton. 

In the days following the leak, pressure reportedly mounted on Schultz to resign from both Clinton and Sanders supporters. On Saturday, the DNC Rules Committee announced that Schultz would not be speaking to the convention or gaveling in and out the proceedings, as she was originally going to. Rep. Marcia Fudge, D-Ohio, was to serve as permanent chairwoman of the convention in her place.

However, later in the day Sanders addressed his supporters in a speech, between talk about economic equality and alternative energy and his "extraordinary" experiences running his campaign, he mentioned Schultz's resignation as Democratic National Chairwoman, which was greeted by cheers and boos.

But the real reaction from the crowd happened when Sanders mentioned Clinton and her vice presidential running mate Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine. 

"We got to defeat Donald Trump. And we got to elect Hillary Clinton and Tim Kaine," Sanders said, as the crowd reacted negativity to this, with jeering transforming into chants of "We want Bernie."

However, Schultz has something to look forward to. On Sunday Clinton released a statement that Schultz will be working for her campaign. 

"There’s simply no one better at taking the fight to the Republicans than Debbie — which is why I am glad that she has agreed to serve as honorary chair of my campaign’s 50-state program to gain ground and elect Democrats in every part of the country, and will continue to serve as a surrogate for my campaign nationally, in Florida, and in other key states. I look forward to campaigning with Debbie in Florida and helping her in her re-election bid — because as president, I will need fighters like Debbie in Congress who are ready on day one to get to work for the American people," Clinton stated.

There's a revolution in the Sanders' delegates want change. They want it now. They've pushed the Democratic Party further to the left than it's been in a long time. The party's platform embraces a $15 minimum wage, prison reform and a public health option. 

But rank-and-file Democrats and Clinton's supporters are not going down easily. Emails released Friday seem to indicate the party tried to disrupt Sanders' momentum to help Clinton.

The Wikileaks emails have cast a shadow over the festivities Sunday. 

There were protests Sunday. A large crowd of protesters marched right past the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown, the hotel where Florida delegates are staying. The march included Code Pink supporters, anti-fracking and Trans-Pacific Partnership demonstrators, and anti-war protesters. 

There was a little unrest in the hotel lobby as well. A group of Sanders supporters from California began singing a song written to sort of wish Sanders well. The hotel shut the down promptly, quietly taking one of the organizers aside and telling them everyone was there to have a good time. 

On Saturday, Dr. Jill Stein, the Green Party candidate, led the People's Convention. She renewed her call for Sanders to take back his Clinton endorsement and join her campaign. 

There are angry Sanders supporters, maybe even frustrated delegates. But not all.

One Jacksonville, Florida delegate for Sanders said she was "thrilled. It needed to happen."

Maria, a Sanders delegate from Orlando, said she felt Democrats were making good steps toward unity.

At a table at the hotel bar, a group of Democrats from Florida were gathered for drinks and laughs. Many were from the Democratic Veterans Caucus. Some were from Pinellas and Hillsborough counties, at least one from Volusia County. There were Clinton supporters and Sanders supporters. Clinton supporter Richard posed with a young Sanders supporter, Jessica. Though Jessica is new, Richard praised her for being active in the local party. "And we get along just fine!" he exclaimed.

"We need unity," Richard said. "The alternative is far, far worse."

The alternative, he said, being Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

But not every person who spoke at the breakfast was greeted with negativity. New Jersey U.S. Sen. Cory Booker spoke praises about Clinton as the crowd cheered him on.
