President Joe Biden‘s fundraiser in NYC alongside ex-Presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton got interrupted by pro-Palestine protesters … who made a big scene in an iconic venue.
Joe and co. were onstage Thursday night at Radio City Music Hall, where Stephen Colbert was hosting them and asking them questions — this in front of a live audience, with seats for this fundraiser going for a pretty penny … starting as low as $225 and going as high as $500k.

While they were talking about Jan. 6, a woman who’d made her way into the building somehow — mind you, lots of protesters were already outside — started screaming out loud.
The main woman here in the video — who seemed to be joined by some other protesters as well — shouted, “Shame on you, Joe Biden!” … while going on to accuse him of backing a genocide. This, of course, is in response to how he’s dealt with the ongoing Israel situation.

Obama reportedly responded to the protesters during the appearance, saying … “You can’t just talk and not listen … That’s what the other side does.” He praised Biden for having “moral clarity” amid a very complicated issue.
On a lighter note … Joe and the former Presidents had a little fun during their appearance — with all of them leaning into the Dark Brandon meme and throwing on sunglasses, including Colbert.

Hard to say how successful the fundraiser was in light of all the tumult … we suppose it went well, though, ’cause it looked packed — and those tickets certainly weren’t cheap at all.
