Shortly after his speech ended, journalist Philip Lewis tweeted an image of a tearful Sanders supporter with the caption "When the Whole Foods runs out of Kale:#DemsInPhilly" (shown below, left).[2] Additionally, Twitter user @RevoltPolitic[1] posted a screen capture of a young man wearing green felt hat while crying during Sanders' speech, referring to him as "crying Peter Pan guy" (shown below, middle).
