While speaking at an event at the Institute of Global Politics through the School of International and Public Affairs at Columbia University on Monday, former presidential candidate and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton found herself in a shouting match with an irate audience member.
“Can you please — can you make a statement about President Joe Biden’s speech? This is a clearly warmongering speech,” the audience member asked.
“President Joe Biden is calling for $100 billion of funding for Israel, Taiwan, and Ukraine, and we’re supposed to just bundle these together and pretend like we’re going to rush to World War III, and we’re all just going to let Hillary Rodham Clinton sit here,” the heckler added.
This is not the way to have a conversation,” Clinton said, trying to disarm the situation.
“The fact of the matter is that the American people’s voice are what needs to be heard because our president is not speaking for the American people and neither are you,” the man said.
“Yeah, they are being heard,” Clinton replied. “Well, that’s your opinion,” she said in response to the audience member saying Biden was not speaking on behalf of the public.
Watch the exchange.
Hillary just got heckled and she LOSES IT!!
