Hillary Clinton was confronted Monday by an angry heckler who demanded she comment on President Joe Biden’s “hawkish” policies. The former secretary of state was speaking at the new Institute for Global Politics through Columbia University’s School of International and Public Affairs when the explosion occurred. The audience member asked Clinton to “denounce” President Biden’s Oval Office speech, in which he announced America’s commitment to strengthening its support for Israel and Ukraine. “Can you provide a statement on President Joe Biden’s speech? This is a clearly hawkish speech,” said the stranger. “I’m sorry. You know, that’s no way to have a conversation. If you want to have a conversation, you can come talk to me afterwards,” Clinton said. The heated argument continued for more than three minutes, with the unnamed man yelling at Clinton to answer his questions. “The fact is, it’s the voice of the American people that needs to be heard, because…because our president doesn’t speak for the American people, and neither should you,” he said. “Well, then sit down! We’ve heard your opinion. Thank you very much,” Clinton responded.
