The floor of the Democratic National Convention erupted Wednesday over a sudden move to restore to the platform a reference to “God” and recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital — after heavy criticism from Republicans for initially omitting them.
Democrats, though, were hardly in agreement over the reversal.
A large and loud group of delegates shouted “no” as convention chairman, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, called for the vote late Wednesday afternoon. Villaraigosa had to call for the vote three times before ruling that the “ayes” had it. Many in the crowd booed after he determined the language would be restored.
The entire mess tells us a few things. The Democratic Party is
radicalized and desperate. Its delegates are drastically out of tune
with the country and even their own party. The reinsertion attempted to
cover up the radicalization of the Democrats but instead revealed just
how bad it had gotten.
