Anti-Israel protesters interrupted a live interview between late-night host Stephen Colbert and former Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) on Tuesday night, prompting Colbert to chastise them.
The special episode aired live during day two of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, where thousands of protestors gathered to demonstrate.
Pelosi was discussing her new book, “The Art of Power,” when a woman started chanting in the back of the audience, per Deadline.
Colbert responded by saying, “For the people at home who can’t tell, there’s a protest going on in the audience right now. Hold on young lady, I can hear you. We’re actually at a commercial break but the subject is on Israel and Palestine, and if you’ll have a seat, we have to go to a commercial break and when we come back I will ask the next question I had on that subject, if you will listen.”
