Former President Obama snapped at protesters at a star-studded fundraiser in New York City, which was aimed at raising millions for Joe Biden’s 2024 presidential campaign.
Obama was joined onstage at the Radio City Music Hall by Biden and former President Bill Clinton as protesters interrupted him.
“You can’t just talk, you have to listen,” Obama snapped.

The panel, moderated by Stephen Colbert, was interrupted six times by protestors, according to the New York Post.
One protester began blowing a whistle while holding g a “war pig” sign.
Other protestors shouted, “Shame on you, Joe Biden,” while another bellowed, “Blood on your hands.”
Outside, protesters chanted, “F*ck Joe Biden!” and “Genocide Joe has got to go!”
The fundraiser is expected to bring in $25 million for Biden.
Actress Mindy Kaling hosted the event and said, “It is such an honor to be in this room with so many rich people.”
“People are paying up to $500,000 to be here tonight,” she added.
“For that kind of money at an RNC fundraiser, you get to be Secretary of State.”
Biden’s predecessor, Republican presidential nominee former President Donald Trump, attended a wake held for New York City police officer Jonathan Diller, who was killed at a traffic stop.
The suspect already had 21 prior arrests, highlighting New York’s “soft on crime” approach.
The contrast between Biden and Trump was stark, Breitbart News’ Washington Bureau Chief Matthew Boyle noted:
While Biden pals around with the rich and famous, Trump will be honoring the fallen police officer. Trump’s team is making the contrast crystal clear with a blistering new statement from Trump campaign Communications Director Steven Cheung, provided exclusively to Breitbart News ahead of its public release.
In it, Cheung calls the current president and the two former presidents “The Three Stooges” and lights up the Democrats for hanging around with “out-of-touch celebrity benefactors” instead of respecting law enforcement officers who give their lives to protect Americans.
“President Trump will be honoring the life and legacy of Officer Diller and paying respects to his family, friends, and the NYPD for their terrible loss,” Cheung told Breitbart News.
“Meanwhile, the Three Stooges—Biden, Obama, and Clinton—will be at a glitzy fundraiser in the city with their elitist, out-of-touch celebrity benefactors.”
