Obama Tosses Heckler From LGBT Event: 'You're In My House'

[MADem]

President Obama had a heckler tossed from a White House reception in celebration of LGBT pride month after the woman refused to stop interrupting the president.

"Listen, you're in my house," Obama said, to the applause of the crowd, within the first couple of minutes of the event.
The heckler, Jennicet Gutiérrez, who is transgender and undocumented, had been shouting claims about bad detention conditions for LGBTQ immigrants in the United States.

"No, no, it's not respectful when you get invited to somebody's," Obama said, again being interrupted by the heckler before he could finish his sentence. "You're not going to get a good response by interrupting me like this."

Persisting still to heckle the president, Obama then said "shame on you" and gestured to a security official, asking "can we escort this person out?"
"You can either stay and be quiet or we'll have to take you out," Obama then said, apparently giving the heckler one more chance.

Gutiérrez, 29, from Los Angeles, who is a founding member of the LGBTQ Latina advocacy group Familia TQLM did not cease and was removed from the East Room.....

I can't really hear what she is saying (beyond "no mas deportaciones/no more deportations), but the crowd is NOT with her. Wrong venue, really.

2. It is pretty rare that he tries to stop a heckler

Usually, he gives them a chance to say their piece, but when you can't stop, he has to resort to having your removed.

4. She wasn't really saying much--she was repeating her complaint about

deportations in English and Spanish. Had she shut up after the first outburst, he probably would have let it go--she just refused to stop, and was disrupting the ceremony.
