Joe Biden got heckled by a protester while speaking at the Maryland Democratic Party’s gala on Saturday night, briefly interrupting his speech and throwing him off.
As Biden described the history of the Democratic Party and the “story of America” as “a constant push and pull between peril and possibility,” one woman screamed, “Genocide Joe,” sparking chaos in the room.
Loud booes could also be heard as screaming continued. It is unclear how many were involved in the protest and whether the crowd was booing at Biden or the protesters.
Biden looked shocked and confused as he tried to continue his speech.
After the interruption, Biden attempted to recover, slurring through gibberish and ultimately declaring that the Democrats are going to “come out stronger” and win in November.
