Shailene Woodley Calls Out 'False Narratives' at DNC - Read Her Tweets

Shailene Woodley, a longtime supporter of Bernie Sanders, called out “false narratives” at the 2016 Democratic National Convention during night two of the four-day event.

The 24-year-old actress was one of the many celebrities at the event and she was there to use her voice to support the “Stop TPP” movement. She joined others who are opposed to the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a 12-country trade deal signed by President Obama.

While Hillary Clinton initially supported it (she later changed her position), Bernie has been opposed from the beginning.

Shailene was at the convention on Tuesday night (July 26) and pointed out that people left the arena after Hillary was officially nominated for president by the Democratic party. She also called out the “Hillary for America” official Twitter account for using a photo of a Bernie supporter crying and twisting it to make it pro-Hillary.

“the seats cleared out after they announced #HRC’s nomination. #Philly #DNCinPHL,” Shailene captioned the below video on Twitter.

Alicia Keys Performs to Close Out DNC Day Two! (Video)

Alicia Keys gives an energetic performance to close out day two of the 2016 Democratic National Convention on Tuesday (July 26) at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Penn.

The 35-year-old singer performed two songs – “Superwoman” and her current single “In Common.”

Alicia dedicated the performance to the “Mothers of the Movement,” the mothers of young black victims of police brutality who spoke on stage earlier in the evening.

“Women are the answer. We have the power to ensure that this country gets on the right path. I dedicate this song to the Mothers of the Movement and all mothers who have lost their sons and their daughters to senseless violence. Until we deal with gun violence in this country, we can’t claim ‘home of the brave,’” Alicia said while opening her performance.

The former President of the United States talked about how he met his wife, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, and how he proposed to her three times before she finally said yes.

“I married my best friend. I was still in awe after more than four years of being around her at how smart and strong and loving and caring she was and I really hoped that her choosing me and rejecting my advice to pursue her own career was a decision she would never regret,” he said.

During the speech, Bill called Hillary “the best darn change maker I ever met in my entire life” and he talked about all of her advocacy work throughout the years.
