A heckler interrupted former Starbucks CEO Howard Schutlz’s book tour event in New York Monday, voicing the sentiment that many Democrats share.

“Don’t help elect Trump, you egotistical, billionaire asshole!” the man yelled before being removed from the room.

Democrats worry that if Schultz does mount an independent bid for President like he floated this weekend on “60 Minutes,” he’d act as a spoiler ultimately taking votes from the Democratic candidate and throwing the election to Trump.

Trump seemed to pick up on the political calculus as well and tweeted Monday in an apparent attempt to goad Schultz into running.
