Is sticking finger in a nationally televised airing an appropriate action? Do the delegates need to show respectfulness, or is it no-hold-bared to get your point across?
I don't think the sticking finger by the delegate reflects on the political party as much as on the person herself, in her displaying of what is basically a low-class vulgarity. Yes, I have been known to do it myself, say ... in traffic...... but I hope I'd be able to restrain myself during a televised setting (the same as I'd hope to not resort to my sometimes swearing).
Evidently the party did not I find her behavior acceptable, since they ousted her and her middle finger.
Sanders supporter who gave middle finger kicked out of Hawaii delegation
A member of Hawaii’s delegation to the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia has been kicked out of the group after she was caught on national television on Tuesday giving the middle finger as U.S. Sen. Brian Schatz announced Hawaii’s delegate counts for Hillary Clinton.
Hawaii Democratic Party Chair Tim Vandeveer said he tried to give the Bernie Sanders supporter another chance by having her apologize, but Chelsea Lyons Kent refused.
“She was unwilling to do so,” he said in a press release. “Therefore, her floor credentials have been revoked for the duration of (the) convention and she will no longer be a part of our delegation.”
Vandeveer said that Kent’s gesture was “inappropriate and not in keeping with the conduct becoming of a national delegate or member of the Democratic Party.”
