‘Hope he has security’: Heckler THROWS DOWN with Hillary Clinton over ‘warmongering’ Joe Biden speech

October 24, 2023 | | Print Article

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was left answering for the president’s “warmongering, suicidal, idiotic speech” on foreign aid to a heckler she gave the boot.

“I’m not sorry, you sit down.”

Monday, as Columbia University’s Institute of Global Politics marked 75 years of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the professor for the School of International and Public Affairs ran gamut of responses to a heckler outraged over President Joe Biden’s handling of foreign policy.

During the panel discussion, a man identified as Robert Castle from the Schiller Institute, a German-based economic and political think tank, confronted Clinton demanding a statement on the White House’s promise to further fund foreign wars.

“I know you’re not sorry, that’s the point! The hypocrisy of this [Oval Office] speech,” Castle could be heard saying after the secretary had asked him to sit and endeavored to continue the panel discussion. “Can you please make a statement about Joe Biden’s speech? His clearly-warmongering speech. President Joe Biden is calling for $100 billion of funding for Israel, Taiwan and Ukraine and we’re supposed to bundle these together and rush towards World War III? And we’re all just going to let Hillary Rodham Clinton sit here and-”

“This is not the way to have a conversation,” Clinton chided as she waved her notes at the heckler reaching a point of indignation before assuring she would talk to the young man after the event.

Not buying into the claim, which later reports suggested had been false, Castle refused to sit down as he further pressed for a statement.

“It’s not free speech when you are disrupting everybody else’s opportunity to speak,” she contended in an attempt to seize the moral high ground. Instead, the think tank member held the spotlight as he asserted, “This is free speech! Everyone! This is free speech.”

Pointing back at Clinton he added, “That is not free speech. This is people constructing narratives that are openly hypocritical. I’m sorry.”

The secretary’s next tactic was an attempt at ridiculing her heckler who she slammed during his ongoing commentary, “Well you’re brilliant in your historical cherry-picking.”

Perhaps, harkening back to Biden’s remarks in Israel where he had indicated an explosion at a hospital in Gaza had been the fault of Hamas by saying it “was done by the other team,” Castle carried on, “This isn’t football. This isn’t Team America,” earning the retort from Clinton, “Well, I’m sorry. But some of us are on team America despite our flaws.”

When another panelist attempted to step in and belittle the man, evidently unknown to them, suggesting he didn’t hold a candle to what they had done for human rights, he asserted that what he had done was call for Clinton “to denounce the president’s openly warmongering, suicidal, idiotic speech,” before he was ultimately removed.

A later video showed another member of the Schiller Institute confronting Clinton with Chinese Communist Party talking points.

Regardless of the positions held by the think tank, the fact that the individuals were willing to directly confront Clinton and not balk when pushed back was applauded by many on social media.
