Former President Barack Obama was publicly humiliated after being heckled by a pro-Palestinian protester during a live event in Pennsylvania — and the entire exchange was caught on camera.
The embarrassing moment unfolded during a September 16 discussion with journalist Steve Scully at the Jefferson Educational Society in Erie. As Obama attempted to give a carefully scripted answer about foreign policy, a man shouted pro-Palestine slogans, forcing Obama to snap back in frustration.
“Sir, I’m not the President of the United States right now,” Obama shot back angrily. “There’s no point in shouting at me about it. I’m not in charge of foreign policy anymore.”
The viral clip has been viewed over 3 million times on X (formerly Twitter), with many mocking Obama for appearing weak, powerless, and out of touch.

Gaza War Sparks Global Chaos — and Division Among Democrats
The heated confrontation comes as the war between Israel and Hamas continues to escalate, putting enormous strain on global diplomacy.
Earlier this week, a United Nations commission ignited controversy by releasing a report accusing Israel of “failing to prevent genocide” in Gaza — a claim that has been strongly denounced by conservatives and pro-Israel voices.
Obama attempted to use the moment to deliver a lecture on “tribalism” and “human dignity,” but critics say he equated Hamas terrorists with Israel, angering many on both sides.
“When people start believing some lives are worth more than others, bad things happen,” Obama said, sparking backlash for his vague and moralistic tone.
Trump Celebrates Big Win for Free Speech
The heckling came just days after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the conservative activist and Trump ally. Kirk’s murder shocked the nation and ignited a debate over political violence and free speech.
President Donald Trump celebrated a major victory for conservatives this week when ABC canceled Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night show after the host mocked Kirk’s death.
“Great news for America,” Trump posted on Truth Social. “Kimmel has ZERO talent and terrible ratings. Congratulations to ABC for doing the right thing.”
Obama, however, blasted Trump on X, accusing his administration of “dangerous cancel culture” — even though critics point out the Left has spent years silencing conservative voices.

Texas Leads the Charge to Honor Kirk
In the wake of Kirk’s assassination, Texas lawmakers announced plans to investigate political bias and free speech violations on college campuses.
Some leaders in Texas and Florida are even pushing to erect statues of Kirk, honoring him as a champion for conservative values and free expression.
This bold move has energized conservatives nationwide and drawn sharp criticism from the radical Left.
Why This Matters for America’s Future
This viral moment isn’t just a personal embarrassment for Obama — it’s a symbol of the Democratic Party’s collapse on the world stage.
With chaos erupting overseas and free speech under attack at home, Americans are looking to President Trump and conservative leaders to restore strength and integrity.
For older voters, this video is a powerful reminder that the Democratic Party has grown dangerously weak, while conservatives are taking bold action to defend America’s values, freedom, and future.
