Wisconsin Democratic Gov. Tony Evers booed at DNC for Green Bay Packers reference, then struggles to speak

Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers apparently isn't built to handle the Chicago Bears' 12th man.

When the Democratic governor tried to take his turn to declare his state's party delegates for Kamala Harris at the DNC Tuesday, the hometown Chicago crowd booed Evers so relentlessly over a sports reference he had a hard time finishing the declaration.

Evers stood in front of a crowd of Wisconsin delegates wearing cheesehead hats, the famed head topper for fans of the Green Bay Packers. The Packers are the Chicago Bears' fiercest rivals, dating back over 100 years.
