Washington (CNN)—President Barack Obama is used to hecklers stopping him during speeches -- but he draws the line when the audience interrupts him in his own house.
As Obama was speaking at a White House event honoring LGBT Pride Month on Wednesday, an accented voice rang out from the crowd. Obama wasn't amused.
"Shame on you," he told his heckler, who was protesting deportations under the Obama administration.
Obama responded, "Listen you're in my house ... it's not respectful."
The interruption persisted, however, and Obama asked for the heckler to be removed from the East Room.
"As a general rule I am just fine with a few hecklers. But not when I'm up here in the house," he said, as Vice President Joe Biden clapped him on the back.
Obama said later if guests are "eating the hors d'oeuvres and drinking the booze," they're typically expected to listen respectfully.
Shortly after the incident, an immigration group claimed the protestor was an undocumented immigrant named Jennicet Gutiérrez, who is transgender. According to a press release, Gutiérrez was a founding member of FAMILIA TQLM, established to advocate for LGBTQ immigrants who the group says are often excluded in the immigration debate.

” heckler, who was protesting deportations under the Obama administration.”
What deportations?
OhVomit the wannabe dictator. He needs to be put in his miserable place.
‘I’bama is one Freudian slip after another. Pretending to be Probably, believing you are a easy going person while actually despising America, harboring all kinds of racist, bigotted, and religious hatred, along with just pretending to be something you are not, will cause one to slip up once in awhile and speak what you really think?
Imagine in if George W had said that. There would have been mass riots across the country screaming for his impeachment.
bammy - you didn’t build that!
No 0bama, you’re in America’s house, temporarily I might add.
Shortly after the incident, an immigration group claimed the protestor was an undocumented immigrant named Jennicet Gutiérrez, who is transgender. According to a press release, Gutiérrez was a founding member of FAMILIA TQLM, established to advocate for LGBTQ immigrants who the group says are often excluded in the immigration debate.
...
Oh please. This whole thing had to be staged.
In a more civilized time, ICE would have swooped in, arrested and booked the criminal border jumper, followed by immediate deportation.
But now, this is Skippy’s base. So law breaking has no consequence, and they will fearlessly drink the booze and eat the eats, while heckling their new messiah.
You asked for it, and you got it. Own it, Skip.
It’s not his house.
It’s NOT his house. Even Clinton knew, when he was President, that it was not his house. I remember him saying as much.
Obama is the most arrogant POS ever to soil and sully that house.
You can always tell when someone does not know History and this includes most of the administration.
It is the Presidential Palace and you will not insult the
el-presidente in said Palace you unwashed peasant!
At this point I really don’t think the country would blink if this little punk said I’m not going anywhere January 20th 2017. The Republican branch of the Uniparty in congress would bitch and moan and do nothing. The state run media would report it and turn to the latest on the Kardashin trash. The supreme court would under John Sutter Roberts would find a way to legalize it. The US military would do nothing but snap to and say yes sir el-presidente! And the bureaucracy would report to work as normal as long as they are paid handsomely and not held to any standards.
I wonder if Mr. Liptak knows that it’s not the President’s house. It’s not the first lady’s house, either.
It’s the PEOPLE’s HOUSE.
Or at least it used to be.
