CNN caught up with Huerta after Clinton’s victory party.
“What happened is the person who was running the caucus said we need a translator and he said the first person that comes to the stage can be the translator, so I walked up to the front and then some of the organizers, the Bernie organizers, decided to shout ‘no, no, no.’ Then a Bernie person stood up and said, I can also do translation. So then the person running the caucus said we won’t have a translator.”

She added, “Then some of the organizers were shouting ‘English only, English only.’ This is bad.”
Huerta clarified that exchange on Twitter.
“I offered to translate & Bernie supporters chanted English only! We fought too long & hard to be silenced,” Huerta tweeted.
