Dolores Huerta says she was shouted down with ‘English-only’ chants from a Sanders crowd
This is an automatic summary, original reduced by 85%.
Unfortunately for Sanders's supporters, there's video that at the very least backs up Huerta's assertion that there was a lot of shouting and hissing while she was on stage at a Nevada caucus location.
Instead, Huerta and actress America Ferrera, an on-the-record Hillary Clinton supporter, both tweeted that Huerta was shouted down with chants of, "English only!".
In the 1950s, Huerta, a former elementary school teacher, left the relative comfort of the classroom to begin organizing migrant farm workers often paid by the piece or by the pound for produce they gathered.
Avoiding medical costs or expensive payouts to the families of workers killed on the job was routine for farm-related enterprises when Huerta first became involved in farm-worker labor issues.
In the decades since, Huerta has been involved in fights to make driver's license exams and ballots available in Spanish, efforts to organize hotel industry workers and a successful initiative to repeal a federal temporary agricultural worker program riddled with human rights abuses.
So perhaps the crowd or some members of the crowd were aware of Huerta's position outside the Sanders camp.
