That didn’t go far enough for fellow Democrats who called on her to rebuke the demonstration.

Evans joins the ranks of other Democrats who have been booed or heckled at Netroots events: Nancy Pelosi was booed and heckled in 2013, Black Lives Matter protesters interrupted Democratic presidential candidate Martin O’Malley’s speech in 2015.

If this is what being a democrat looks like, Georgians will say “thanks but no thanks.”
