In the midst of speaking to a group from the American Academy of Pediatrics Hillary Clinton was interrupted by a heckler with a bullhorn.
She was at the San Diego gathering to announce the partnership that the Clinton Foundation has forged with the organization.
It’s called ‘Too Small to Fail’ and encourages parents to read to their children.
At the time of the disturbance she was talking about the importance of language development in a person’s early years.
That’s when the man in the audience sounded the alarm on his bullhorn.
He also yelled something, but it was reportedly unclear and remains unverified.
Both she and the security personnel on duty reacted quickly.
Following the outburst Clinton commented, "You know there are some people who miss important developmental stages."
The individuals on watch quickly removed the man from the room.
What motivated the disruption remains a mystery.
It’s also unclear if the individual exhibited any suspicious activity prior to the act.
He was reportedly wearing a suit and tie, so it’s quite likely that he blended in with the event’s other 3 thousand or so attendees.
