Watch Joe Biden Get Heckled As He Exits Wall Street Fundraiser with ‘Drop Out Joe’
Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden was heckled by what seemed a small group of protestors Thursday night while leaving a Wall Street fundraiser in New York City.
New York Communities for Change tweeted a video late Thursday night of the chant while Biden walked out of the venue to a handful of voices yelling, “Drop out, Joe!”
The activist organization that posted the message on Twitter, and took responsibility for the demonstration outside the fundraiser, bills themselves as an organization that seeks to “resist fascist and racist policies that affect our most vulnerable communities.”
UPDATE: Alice Nascimento New York Communities for Change’s Director of Policy and Research blasted the Biden camp in a phone interview with Mediaite Friday, stating the campaign was viably frustrated over their presence.
Nascimento told Mediaite that the organization is questioning Biden’s intentions when it comes to hearing the voices of working people, pondering if “somebody like Joe Biden would be able to do that if he’s just coming to New York to use as an ATM. ”
The activist organization also had a coffin at the event, which they shared an image of with Mediaite.
“We found Joe Biden at his 250 person Wall Street fundraiser. We had a message: DROP OUT JOE! You don’t have to do this, Joe. You can skip Nevada. You can skip South Carolina. And go straight home to Deleware,” New York Communities for Change wrote on Twitter.
