| Hillary booed off the stage by firemen |
| 2001-10-22 |
Matt Drudge reports Hillary Clinton was jeered at Saturday's "Concert for New York": Hillary Clinton was jeered and booed by thousands gathered at Madison Square Garden as she took to the stage--unannounced--to introduce a movie clip. VH1 cameras captured firemen and police heroes wildly booing Clinton, who attempted to raise her voice above the shouting crowd. "Get off the stage! We don't want you here!" yelled one New York City police officer just feet from the senator. Anti-Clinton slurs spread and intensified throughout the Garden, with many standing near the stage lobbing profanities. Event-planner and close Clinton friend Harvey Weinstein was visibly shaken as he heard the crowd erupt with boos and jeers, according to an eyewitness. The Boston Globe reports that actor and Dalai Lama groupie Richard Gere was also booed, when he asked for "compassion" for the enemy. |
