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

Ohio Republican Senate candidate Bernie Moreno calls out Democrats, including his Senate opponent Sherrod Brown, for ‘acting moderate’ despite liberal policy positions.

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. The Bears and Packers share the oldest rivalry in the NFL, and the two teams have met more times than any other two teams in NFL history. 

After all those meetings, their fans don't like each other, to put it plainly.

Evers was reminded harshly of all this by his fellow party members in Chicago with a chorus of boos. 

That didn't stop Evers from reading off the rest of the major sports teams based in his state, including the University of Wisconsin Badgers and Milwaukee Bucks and Brewers. Once it came time to announce the delegation's vote for Harris, the governor started to choke on his words. 

"Wisconsin has one vote present and 90 more votes for … where are we at?" Evers said, before struggling to speak. He then stopped to compose himself and announced to the crowd, "You got me going here."
