Jerry Seinfeld’s 7 days of tricky appearances carries on, this time in Virginia.
As quickly as Seinfeld took the phase for a stand-up comedy established at Chrysler Hall in Norfolk on Saturday night, a man in the audience jumped up and yelled, “Free Gaza,” TMZ documented. The viewers straight away began booing the heckler and chanting “Jerry! Jerry!” as yet another bystander wrestled the protester into a headlock.
Safety escorted the male out of the creating, but the clearly show was interrupted by other protesters eight situations throughout its 90-minute run.
This isn’t the initially time the “Comedians in Vehicles Receiving Coffee” host has been interrupted recently — his graduation speech at Duke College was issue to walkouts and chanting by pro-Palestinian students.
The controversy around Seinfeld’s views stems from his vocal support of Israel — which he visited next the Oct. 7 assaults — and his wife’s $5,000 donation to a GoFundMe for professional-Israel counterprotesters at UCLA following a late April protest turned violent.
Seinfeld didn’t feel bothered by the interruptions, telling the crowd not to boo the gentleman mainly because he experienced a right to protest.
“This is thrilling. I like this,” the comic claimed as the primary protester was escorted out of the location. “I like a very little Jew despise to spice up the show.”
