The Democratic National Convention has heard from First Lady Michelle Obama, Bernie Sanders, and Bill Clinton all in support of Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.

The convention has also seen demonstrations from “Bernie or Bust,” a group of Sanders supports that do not plan to support Clinton’s nomination.

Throughout the convention the “Bernie or Bust” members booed and chanted during speeches. Some group members attended the convention with tape over their mouth to symbolize being “silenced.” On Tuesday, the group orchestrated a walk out on the convention.

Seth Meyers created a segment on the Late Night he called “Hey!” so send a message to committed Sanders Supporters.

Meyers highlighted Trump’s lead in the polls over Clinton.

“I know you’re ‘Bernie or Bust’ but ‘Bust’ won, we don’t have time for this,” Meyers said. “The house is on fire, stop crying because we’re not putting it out with your hose.”

“Your passion changed the Democratic Party and that is no small thing,” he closed. “You should be proud of yourselves for his campaign. But also you have to be quiet now.”
