Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had an extended argument on Monday with a heckler screaming about the "warmongering" policies of President Joe Biden.
During a panel event to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) at Columbia University in New York City, Clinton and an unnamed man engaged in a heated exchange that went on for more than three minutes.
The panel discussion, moderated by Clinton, abruptly ground to a halt over the man's demands that Clinton address his claim that the "idiotic" policies of Biden run the risk of setting off World War III.
While Clinton was talking about international human rights violations with former President of Chile Michelle Bachelet, the man could be heard loudly speaking about "hypocrisy" from the crowd.

While Clinton was talking about international human rights violations with former President of Chile Michelle Bachelet, the man could be heard loudly speaking about "hypocrisy" from the crowd.
"I'm sorry, we have two more people to hear from," Clinton responded as the man continued to shout. "You have a chance to...well, I'm not sorry. You sit down, and we're going to let other people talk."
Despite Clinton attempting to move on with the discussion, the man's voice got louder as he shouted demands for Clinton to denounce Biden's "warmongering" speech.
"President Joe Biden's calling for $100 billion of funding for Israel, Taiwan and Ukraine," the man said, referring to the president's address last week. "We're supposed to just bundle these together and pretend like we're gonna rush to World War III."

"And we're all just gonna let Hillary Rodham Clinton sit here?" he added before being approached by event staff.
"I'm sorry, this is not the way to have a conversation," said Clinton. "If you want to have a conversation, you're welcome to come talk to me afterward."
The man said that he didn't believe that Clinton would actually meet with him before saying that "the American people's voice needs to be heard...because the president's not speaking for the people, and neither are you."

And from another article (https://www.aa.com.tr/en/americas/protester-interrupts-hillary-clinton-event-in-new-york-demanding-denunciation-of-biden/3031448)...
Rejecting the disruption, Clinton, who is chair of the IGP's Faculty Advisory Board, said: "I'm not sorry. You sit down."
"It's not free speech when you are disrupting everybody else's opportunity to speak," she said.
"This is people constructing narratives that are openly hypocritical," the protester retorted. "Will you denounce Joe Biden's speech?"
The man was apparently referring to Biden's nationally televised address last Thursday in which he sought to make the case to the American people for an additional $105 billion in emergency funding, the bulk of which would go towards further arming Ukraine and Israel, amid gridlock in Congress.
"What I want to hear is Hillary Rodham Clinton to denounce President Joe Biden's warmongering speech. He's trying to push us to World War Three. Do you understand?" the protester said.
"I will not do that," said Clinton.
So what is that protestor’s Freeper handle?
He can expect a βvisitβ from feds shortlyβ¦
Gotta admire the man’s sand, but he’s barking up the wrong tree with Hillary. She never saw a war in which she didn’t want to either meddle or commit troops just to show that she’s tougher than any man on Earth.
This exchange goes on for almost 4 minutes. There is a link at citizenfreepress to the whole thing. He does not let up for a moment. Itβs beautiful.
Rachael Maddow, at the far right on the podium, is looking rather haggard these days.
“”the American people’s voice needs to be heard...because the president’s not speaking for the people, and neither are you.”
People are waking up.
Hillary drank the Neocon Kool Aid a long time ago.
John McCain in a pantsuit.
Where? In Fort Marcy Park?
I don’t agree with the questioner hijacking the event, but Hillary is so deep in the Democrat machine. She isn’t going to criticize Biden.
“You’re welcome to come talk to me afterwards”, she said. Yeah, right.
Oh that's rich.. π€£π€£
This unnamed man did not later commit suicide, no matter what the media might say.
Geez. When is that old gusty gas bag going to croak?

Great one.
first handle was KasichXtremist.
From now on Dems will need the phony crowd of TV game show audience extras they hired to clap like seals.
“That Hillary hag is so ugly do I get paid extra for showing up?”
“No. Same cash deal for all you losers.”
There is bound to be a war sooner or later between Iran and Israel, what is not as inevitable is who joins in this conflict, and if so, with what aims.
The only thing that has prevented this war up until now is probably sufficient deterrence on Iran that they cannot accept the likely consequences. Clearly a war between Iran and Israel is something Iran would start, either directly, or by increasing provocations forcing Israel to start the war to avoid further escalation. It appears this may be Iran’s goal now, or at least something they hope will happen. So Israel needs to be very cautious, calculating who else would join in, and whether there would be enough assistance (from U.S. mainly, possibly other NATO countries) to take the risk of starting the war.
We can guess that Clinton and Biden are gung-ho for this war to break out for the usual neo-con reasons. Iran may strike us as being mostly bluster and rhetoric, with a weak punch; however, Iran aided by Syria, hezbollah, possibly even Russia, would be a less ridiculous opponent than Iran alone, and the more participants, the more risks of others joining in. I hope this round will stay under control, but I sense this could be the time it does not stay under control (barely as in the past) and we get into the worst crisis in the region since 1973 at least, if not worse.
I hate to see this happening with such a weak U.S. president and divided congress, and the wild cards of how it inter-relates with other potential or ongoing war situations (Taiwan, Ukraine to name a pair). Our elites have more of an inclination to “go nuclear” because they have options most of us do not have. One of the most dangerous situations we face is being governed by elites who see advantages to mass casualty events and even nuclear war, who believe they can come out as “winners” (and maybe they are right, which is no reason to accept it).
No, that was not me at the event, but good on whoever tried to ask these questions. A question I would add is this — are we going to count actual votes in November 2024, or will we just pretend a Democrat won?
WHY AREN’T I FIFTY POINTS AHEAD YOU MIGHT ASK?!!!!!!!!
