It’s a protest at a press conference. When protesting its beneficial to take your message to the press and politicians. I’m not claiming it was their turn to speak because the entire point of a protest is taking a stand and making your voice heard even if it isn’t convenient.
Historically effective protest movements weren’t convenient for politicians.

Agree!
A press conference is not a protest! It’s specifically the time for an official to make a statement.
So, which was it? Who’s turn was it? That’s all I’m asking.

So to get this straight.
She was speaking, interrupted, took back her turn, and that’s what you’re upset about?
Would you rather go back to Biden who just sits there while other people talk over him?

I concede that is a good way to look at it and I did not originally interpret that as your intent. Apologies.
