(12,501 posts)Looking at the stairs from the podium, they were up toward the top on the right hand side, yelled "where's the proof" a couple times and got shouted down and I thought they left but it's dark so was hard to tell

(6,364 posts)There were at least two rounds of "where's the proof?" one of which simply got ignored and the other shouted down.
There was also someone with a huge Tulsi sign. That's almost a counterprotest...
