Pro-Palestinian Protesters Crash Nancy Pelosi 'Late Show' Interview
HuffPost
The former House speaker reiterated that Israel "has a right to defend itself" amid repeated interruptions of Tuesday's live taping in Chicago.
Pro-Palestinian protesters interrupted former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi during Tuesday’s live taping of “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert” — and demanded an end to ongoing military aid the United States is providing Israel during its brutal conflict with the militant group Hamas.
The “Late Show” is filming at the Auditorium Theatre in Chicago this week, a mere 3 miles from the United Center where the Democratic National Convention is being held. Pelosi was promoting her new book, “The Art of Power.”
While Pelosi was talking with Colbert about President Joe Biden stepping away from his reelection bid, at least one protester could be heard shouting from the audience. According to a journalist from The Hollywood Reporter who was in attendance, one woman yelled, “Free Palestine!” Colbert acknowledged the interruption and promised to ask about the topic after the commercial break.
At the beginning of the next segment, Colbert asked Pelosi about “the proper use of American power” in the Israel-Hamas conflict.
“We’ve had a commitment to Israel. It’s been in our security interests to do so,” Pelosi said. “Israel was attacked by a terrorist organization. We want the hostages freed, but we don’t want children killed in Gaza, and so we have to come up with a solution.”
