Kennedy ’54-’56 (D-Mass.) received raucous applause when they were shown on the screens, while Senate Minority Leader Trent Lott (R-Miss.), former Sen. Rod Grams (R-Minn.) and Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura were jeered and booed. When Walter Mondale was shown, the crowd could be heard chanting “Fritz, Fritz, Fritz” amidst the loud cheering. Ventura and his wife walked out during the service; the governor later explained that he was incensed...
