PHILADELPHIA, Penn. -- The crowd booed Debbie Wasserman Schultz when she started addressing a delegation breakfast this morning in Philadelphia, the morning after she announced that she would resign as the chair of the Democratic National Committee.

An event organizer had to actively try and quiet the crowd's boos before Wasserman Schultz began speaking.

She started by bringing up the deadly shooting in Fort Myers, Florida, but the boos continued before she eventually acknowledged her resignation.

"I can see there's a little bit of interest in my being here, and I can appreciate that interest," she said.
