Bernie Sanders protesters invaded Philadelphia on the first day of the Democratic National Convention Monday, angrily marching the streets after hacked DNC emails were posted on WikiLeaks, forcing the resignation of party chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
The leaked emails, which appear to demonstrate apparent DNC favoritism toward Hillary Clinton, riled up the crowd, which interrupted the opening night of the convention multiple times with chants of "Bernie! Bernie!" and "WikiLeaks! WikiLeaks!"
Here are 11 images of the rocky start to the DNC in Philadelphia:
