With the convention yet to officially begin, various elected officials and dignitaries are lining up to speak at the auditorium lectern.

Among them, Dallas Sheriff Lupe Valdez, who said of Republicans’ efforts to win back her office: “They are not getting it back. All you have to do is get out there and vote and we will keep this area Democrat.”

Now, former Rock the Vote President Jehmu Greene, a Hillary Clinton supporter, is attempting to speak on behalf of her candidate of choice.

But she hasn’t gotten far, as Barack Obama supporters are shouting her down with chants of “O-ba-ma! O-ba-ma!” Ms. Greene just left the stage. “Yes we can! Yes we can!” many in the crowd are now shouting. Hillary supporters are visably miffed.

“How rude!” one man just shouted.
