U.S. Representative\u00a0Nancy Pelosi<\/a>\u00a0was heckled by several attendees during a New York speaking event, and one called her a “sad, old drunk” over boos from other attendees.<\/p>\n

Pelosi appeared at the City University of New York Graduate Center speaking event with Nobel-prize winning economist Paul Krugman on Monday. During her time on stage, various protestors in the crowd stood up and hurled insults at the congresswoman. When one protestor was removed from the crowd by security, another stood up and continued to verbally degrade Pelosi.<\/p>\n

Pelosi recently stepped down as the House Speaker after\u00a0Republicans<\/a>\u00a0won the House in the November 2022 elections. U.S. Representative\u00a0Kevin McCarthy<\/a>\u00a0has since been elected as Speaker of the House, a position held by Pelosi for the past four years. Pelosi has led House\u00a0Democrats<\/a>\u00a0since 2003 when she was elected minority leader and served as House Speaker from 2007 to 2011 and again from 2019 to 2023. The 82-year-old\u00a0won’t seek reelection as a Democrat leader,<\/a>\u00a0but attendees still held her accountable for a variety of issues at the Monday event, with some screaming out questions as Pelosi sat on stage with Krugman.<\/p>\n

“I came to see a warmonger, but you’re a sad, old drunk,” one protester yelled from the crowd as another was removed by security. “What happened? When you went to Taiwan, were you looking for Ukraine? Did we blow up the Nord Stream on accident or on purpose?”<\/p>\n

Security returned to remove the protestor.<\/p>\n

Protestors’ cries spanned the gamut from\u00a0Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan in July\u00a0<\/a>that aggravated the Chinese government to questions about the United States’\u00a0alleged involvement in an explosion on the Nord Stream pipeline\u00a0<\/a>in September after Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh published a detailed report alleging the attacks on his Substack.<\/p>\n

Pelosi was at the New York event the same day former president\u00a0Donald Trump<\/a>\u00a0arrived in New York a day before his arrest and arraignment. Some protestors asked her if she was there as part of Trump’s indictment.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0video<\/a> of protestors heckling Pelosi has since gone viral on social media.<\/p>\n
