    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.

    I’m sorry, I had no idea this concept could be so alien to anybody.

      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?

        As I said earlier in the thread that you didn’t read or didnt understand, “The politically adept way to answer protesters with a substantial base of support that you don’t want to alienate is to say, ‘I hear you.’”

        If she wants their votes she needs policy and actions that will win those votes.

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