Connecticut Gov. Lamont rips protesters hurling obscenities at President Biden while surrounded by

children at Hartford event: ‘It was embarrassing.’

Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont Tuesday ripped into protesters who hurled curses and vulgarities at President Joe Biden during a visit to a child care center in Hartford last week.

Four days after the event, Lamont was still clearly bothered by the protesters, who shouted vulgarities as about 35 children, along with their teachers, were meeting the president at an event touting additional federal money being earmarked for child care.

“It was something these kids will never forget for the rest of their lives,” Lamont told reporters Tuesday outside the state Capitol. “And right across the fence were angry protesters — yelling, cursing, dropping the F-bomb, and it was embarrassing.”

Lamont continued, “I contrast that moment with watching some of the eulogies for General Colin Powell. I heard him say this morning, as I was on the Stairmaster, that democracy and American democracy are the last great hope on Earth. We have many, many faults, but go out and fix those faults. Don’t curse the faults. Fix the faults. That’s what we’re trying to do.”

Either that or do like the GOP does and have a “protest zone” about five miles away.

…in silence, with their backs to the foul-mouthed apes, as has been done with that insane family cult that goes everywhere (including soldiers’s funerals) frothing at the mouth about gays. Stand between the crazies and their targets.

But apparently the sophistos at Yahoo News weren't bothered at all by alleged grown-ups screaming f-bombs at a bunch of kids in child care.
