Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said in an interview with the CNN Thursday that the scene at Nevada’s Democratic convention last weekend was “disturbing.”

Asked by CNN’s Chris Cuomo about Sen. Bernie Sanders response to what happened at the convention, Clinton said, “I have every confidence we’re going to be unified.”

Sanders supporters disrupted the convention multiple times Saturday — even booing Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-CA), a Clinton supporter, off stage. They believed that the state Democratic Party was shutting them out of the process. The Nevada state Democratic Party chair received a number of threatening voice mails and text messages, reportedly from Sanders supporters outraged by how she handled the proceedings.

The Sanders campaign has said it condemns any violence and threats in general, but called the reports of violence at Saturday’s convention overblown.
