"The identity of the attendee was not immediately known, and it was not clear whether the person was a delegate or just someone with a ticket to the convention center."
[LEFT]"An attendee at the Republican National Convention was given the boot Tuesday for racially taunting a black CNN camerawoman, an incident the news network confirmed after it was reported on Twitter."

is that why mia love was given such an enthusiastic reception?
btw, who are 'any others'?
Mia Love spoke for like 4 minutes. She is a mayor of a town of 18,000 thousand people. That does not translate to broad support in the Republican party.
To win the Saratoga mayoral election she received a whopping 861 votes.
The people who did this only displayed in public what they and many in that party feel. You know why the GOP/tea party is so afraid of blacks or any others getting power? Because they know what they have done with it for all these years.
Dude, you are always typing the opposite of the truth. Your an agent of deception and confusion. Herman Cain was leading before the controversies came out. Allen West, Tim Scott, Nicki Haley, Todd Cruz, Bobby Jindal, Artur Davis, Mia Love; all minorities, and all Tea Prty supported and sponsored candidates. And most are from the South. If you want to continue to support the Democrat Party that tells you that simply because you are black, you are incapable of overcoming hardships and that the government must take care of you, that is your right. But stop with the racist garbage, it's lazy and makes you come across as biter and petty.

Uh............ she's a congressional candidate and was a speaker for the National Republican Convention. How is that not "broad support"?
It's a public convention that anyone can purchase tickets for. That includes people solely there to cause trouble.
Like I've stated previously, there are going to be cretins at any convention. I've worked (and ran) security for numerous conventions and there is always at least one incident. The larger the convention, the higher the number. I'll be at a convention this weekend in Atlanta and expect that there will be at least one bad apple that I'll interact with.
To blame the convention for the actions of an attendee is pretty bad form.
Had the staff/security laughed about it and did nothing, my reaction would be much different. However, they removed the individual, revoking further access, which is the proper response.
Do you seriously believe an event as important as a live nominating convention would be open to the general public?---known party operatives, yes, but others? I sure can't find any proof of that just anyone could go. Can you? If it were open to the general public, then don't you think there would be lots of on camera heckling and outbreaks of boos from the peanut gallery during the speeches instead of this one isolated incident of peanut throwing? Think of the security nightmare that would cause. Just for the safety of the entire top tier of the party, simply logic would suggest they wouldn't take that kind of chance by letting unknown people in the doors.

So this is just a left wing hack? Where's your proof? Really.... I'm being serious.

Proof of what? I never claimed what you're saying.
