Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had a stop on her book tour interrupted when anti-Israel protesters began heckling her, forcing host Katie Couric to pause their interview for a short time.

Pelosi was speaking with Couric at the New York City cultural center 92NY when protesters began shouting at them from the crowd, prompting the California congresswoman to push back, calling for a moment of prayer for the hostages who still remain in the hands of Hamas terrorists.

Pelosi was in the midst of explaining to Couric that part of the inspiration behind her book, “The Art of Power,” had been her “grave disagreement” with then-President George W. Bush on the Iraq War, and protesters used that to pivot to their own message.

“Nancy I’m glad you disagreed with the Iraqi war, but you do not disagree …” someone shouted from the audience, but the crowd began to boo, briefly drowning out the protester. A short time later, the same person could be heard shouting, “There’s children dying in Gaza.”

Pelosi waved off the criticism, saying, “Don’t worry about that, I’m from San Francisco, I’m used to this. They’ll get what they want, because all the press will say that I got interrupted.”

The former House Speaker then called on the audience to pray for the safe return of the hostages remaining in Gaza, in the custody of Hamas terrorists: “Let us bow our heads for the hostages, and be prayerful about the hostages, which they never mention.”

Pelosi has been heckled by anti-Israel protesters on several occasions, and has continued to defend President Joe Biden’s policies regarding the ongoing Israel-Hamas War.

“He has been very concerned about a two-state solution for the region. He has been such a strong supporter of humanitarian assistance for the people of Gaza,” Pelosi said in Massachusetts, despite the fact that Hamas has repeatedly stood in the way of any two-state solution and is the reason that much of the aid sent to the region does not get to the people of Gaza.

“We don’t want any children killed. There has to be a resolution of conflict that is not as savage as war,” she continued.
