NextImg:Hillary Clinton clashes with heckler accusing her of 'hypocrisy' over free speech

Hillary Clinton was called out by an audience member for supporting President Joe Biden’s national security package for Israel, Taiwan, and Ukraine.

While speaking Monday at the newly launched Institute of Global Politics through the School of International and Public Affairs at Columbia University, the audience member asked Clinton to “denounce” Biden’s “warmongering speech,” calling the former secretary of state’s words “hypocrisy.”

“Can you please — can you make a statement about President Joe Biden's speech? This is a clearly warmongering speech,” the man said.


“President Joe Biden is calling for $100 billion of funding for Israel, Taiwan, and Ukraine, and we're supposed to just bundle these together and pretend like we're going to rush to World War III, and we're all just going to let Hillary Rodham Clinton sit here,” the heckler said before an official interfered.

Clinton replied by telling the man, “This is not the way to have a conversation,” adding, “You're welcome to come talk to me afterwards.”

Biden addressed the nation from the Oval Office days ago, outlining his plan to seek a $105 billion security aid package for Israel, Taiwan, and Ukraine. The latest supplemental funding request comes as Israel is at war with the Hamas terrorist group when it launched a deadly attack on Oct. 7.

According to Gaza’s Health Ministry, 5,791 people have been killed in Israeli attacks, while nearly half of Gaza’s population has been displaced. As of Tuesday, a Gaza ministry spokesperson said 16,297 have been wounded. Israel officials say over 1,400 people in Israel have been killed, and the military reported about 200 hostages were taken into Gaza.

“The fact of the matter is that the American people's voice are what needs to be heard because our president is not speaking for the American people and neither are you,” the man said.

“Yeah, they are being heard,” Clinton replied. “Well, that's your opinion,” she said in response to the audience member saying Biden was not speaking on behalf of the public.

"I'm going to exercise my free speech," the man said, before Clinton replied, "But it’s not free speech when you are disrupting everybody else's opportunity to speak."
