The chairman of the California Democratic Party has vowed to hold any delegate accountable if they actively aided the pro-Palestinian protest for a ceasefire at his state’s convention this past weekend in Sacramento.
“Any delegates who actively participated in or aided the furtherance of those activities or events in violation of our party’s code of conduct will be held accountable,” Chairman Rusty Hicks told party members who were gathered for the convention, Politico reported Sunday.
Demonstrators demanding a ceasefire in Gaza on Saturday overwhelmed the convention center at which the party convention was being held – forcing the scheduled caucuses to be canceled that evening.
Earlier in the day, protesters also cut a U.S. Senate candidate forum short. Videos from Saturday show demonstrators filling the convention center lobby, as well as the auditorium, chanting, “Ceasefire now!”
