Nancy Pelosi interrupted while accepting award by anti-Israel agitator: 'Shame on you!' appeared on www.foxnews.com by Sarah Rumpf-Whitten.
A Harvard graduate interjected with an anti-Israel rant, while former House Speaker and Democratic Rep. Nancy Pelosi was accepting an award for “distinguished citizen of the year” in San Francisco.
The sold out dinner event, which was hosted by the Harvard Club of San Francisco for its 150th anniversary, honored Pelosi on Monday for her “37-year career of outstanding servant leadership,” the event’s website said.
In video of the encounter obtained by Fox News Digital, Pelosi is seen accepting her “distinguished citizen” award before a female anti-Israel agitator interrupted.
“Congratulations, Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi,” the protester is heard yelling in the footage while standing in the middle of the room. “What good is getting a scholarship if we’re using our money from Harvard to retaliate and repress and suppress our own students?”

The protester told Pelosi that she was “aiding and abetting” the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
“And what good can you be as a distinguished citizen when you are aiding and abetting this war and this ongoing genocide in Palestine?” the protester said.
