Well, this outrage-induced press conference created some outrage of its own, eventually spiraling into chaos after hecklers interrupted the event.
“If you’re a real American, you get your facts straight first,” a heckler yells out early. “Don’t use the children.”
“Don’t make the kids do your dirty work,” another heckler shouts, all before the song has even begun.

As the group began meekly singing the song, a heckler interjected, “This is ridiculous. This is sad. This is so crazy.”
“Excuse me sir, can you let the kids sing please?” Rep. Turner’s staffer interjected.
“No!” the heckler shot back. “The kids don’t even know what they’re singing! They got something you tell them to say! It’s ridiculous! It’s sad, sad, sad.”
“Burn in hell,” he directed at Turner and his staff. “You will burn in hell. Shame on you.”
After the song finished, hecklers began to argue with Rep. Turner’s staff and the crowd. One man shouted repeatedly, “What does the red, white, and blue even mean? No one knows!”
To drown out the protestors, the children chanted “USA! USA! USA,” which only serves to riles up the hecklers even more.
