All hell broke loose when a protestor interrupted President Barack Obama’s speech Friday at a rally in support of Hillary Clinton in Fayetteville, North Carolina.
For a couple minutes, Obama attempted in vain to gain back control of the crowd as chants of “Hillary!” drowned out the protestor.
While the protester’s identity and motives weren’t clear, from Obama’s remarks after he finally gained control of the crowd back, the protester appeared to be an older war veteran.
“This is what I mean about folks not being focused,” Obama said. “Hold up. Hold up. First of all, we live in a country that respects free speech. Second of all, it looks like maybe he might have served in our military and we have to respect that. Third of all, he was elderly and we have had to respect our elders. And fourth of all, don’t boo, vote!”
Watch below:
I really do hope that Hillary can honor and continue Obama’s legacy as the only grownup in the whole circus.
It appears Obama’s way of dealing with a protester is slightly different from HOTOG’s. Sure, it may be hard to discern but, believe me, it’s different.
President Obama. A truly class act.
Much appreciated, sir…
Could you imagine Trump ever saying something like what Obama just said?
No? Me neither.
Well, given Drumpf’s criminal past, I could see him saying “this is a hold up”…
