Wednesday, Yale Occupiers heckled attendees of a Morgan Stanley consulting information session. Not to be outdone, Harvard Occupiers heckled Newt Gingrich Friday at a movie screening at the Kennedy School of Government. The Harvard Crimson reports:
Shortly after Gingrich arrived, Occupy protesters began chanting, “Mic check. Mic check! We love you Newt. We love you Newt! Thank you for standing up for corporations. They have rights too.”
Gingrich started to respond to the protesters, but they interrupted him mid-sentence to continue their chant.
“Thank you for understanding that simple point. We are the 99 percent!” the group yelled.
Many audience members were frustrated by the protesters.
“Go back to your tents!” shouted an audience member, prompting laughter and applause from many spectators.
But Gingrich was unfazed by the interruption.
“I think we are 100 percent. We are all Americans,” responded Gingrich to further applause.
