I saw that apparently they had him speak right before JB Pritzker. Which has to have been some sort of deliberate humiliation ritual.

Sanders was up there talking about how they needed to get rid of big money in politics, and the guy who speaks right after him is bragging and saying "I'm a real billionaire, unlike Trump" then getting a massive round of cheers.
