RNC: The Virgin Islands Fight Back

Tensions run high at the party nominating conventions, especially when the speeches are filled with as much vitriol as Rudy Giuliani’s and Sarah Palin’s last night. People get pushed, views are blocked, harsh words are exchanged, and deep-seated resentments tend to be exposed. I ended up stuck inside a throng of people taking photos of Sarah Palin’s family, which also happened to be where the US Virgin Islands were supposed to sit. One of the delegates from the Virgin Islands had some harsh words for the organizers of the convention. You can watch a video of that below:
