Rep. Nancy Pelosi\u2019s Monday evening speaking event with Paul Krugman, an economist, at the City University of New York\u2019s Graduate Center was interrupted by a few hilarious hecklers who ripped into her as being both a \u201cwar criminal\u201d and a \u201csad old drunk\u201d when they interrupted the event.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Those hecklers interrupted the event four times, berating Pelosi mainly for foreign policy missteps and her alleged corruption, along with her supposed drinking habit.<\/p>\n
One heckler, for example, screamed that Pelosi belongs in the depths of hell for her involvement in the Iraq war, saying, \u201cYou know Pelosi, that\u2019s a very good place for you in the depths of hell.<\/p>\n
For some reason, you have a very bad obsession of getting us into war.<\/p>\n
Hey, why is it that you did not admit that there were no WMDs in Iraq?<\/p>\n
\u201dContinuing, that same heckler yelled, \u201cYou lied us into a war in Iraq.<\/p>\n
You got us to invade Afghanistan.<\/p>\n
Now over 90 percent of those people are impoverished and are dying.<\/p>\n
Why don\u2019t you tell the truth about Nordstream?<\/p>\n
Why did we destroy Nordstream? You\u2019re leaving millions of Germans without energy. People like you should be arrested, you are a war criminal!\u201d<\/p>\n
That heckler was removed, but soon another stood up and started yelling, saying, \u201cHey congresswoman, I came to see a warmonger but you\u2019re a sad old drunk! What happened? When you went to Taiwan, were you looking for Ukraine? Did we blow up the Nordstream on accident or on purpose?<\/p>\n
Did you know about that? \u2026 You\u2019re a war criminal by definition Ms. Pelosi. You got some nerve. You goddam war criminal! How many people have died in your fucking name?<\/p>\n
\u201dCUNY described the event by saying, \u201cAfter her historic tenure as speaker of the house, Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi joins in conversation with<\/p>\n
Nobel Prize\u2013winning economist Paul Krugman. Pelosi, the 52nd speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives and the first woman to serve as speaker, is the chief architect of generation-defining legislation, including the Affordable Care Act and the American Rescue Plan.<\/p>\n
She continues to serve as a member of Congress representing San Francisco, which she has done for more than 35 years. She speaks with Krugman, a columnist for The New York Times and bestselling author, who is a distinguished professor of economics and a senior scholar at the Stone Center on Socio-Economic Inequality at the CUNY Graduate Center.\u201d<\/p>\n
