Jill Biden Human Rights Campaign Keynote Address Disrupted by Protestors Calling for Gaza Ceasefire
Jill Biden was speaking at the Human Rights Campaign Gala in Los Angeles when she was interrupted by war protestors.
Just as the first lady started speaking, about five people rose from their seats and began shouting, “Free Palestine.” One held a sign that said, “Queer Jews Say Ceasefire Now.” The evening serves as a major fundraiser for HRC, one of the country’s leading LGBTQ advocacy organizations. A similar protest – with celebrities including Sara Ramirez (“And Just Like That.”) and Indya Moore (“Pose”) in attendance — was held at HRC’s New York City gala in February. Just days after the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel, HRC president Kelley Robinson issued a statement regarding the ongoing violence in the Middle East.
