Judith Levine addressing him at the beginning.

In any case, that's actually not unusual for Bernie. Look, I don't agree with Bernie on Israel, but he's not as hardcore as many congresscritters, as Judith notes. He lets Judith go on for a minute and a half- hardly a question. And he didn't just shut people off despite people being way rude before he yells back. I mean for pity's sake, there was a guy more or less physically challenging him by telling him to get "down here". And there are people out of control screaming obscenities out of him. I may disagree with him on this, but I don't find his behavior something to condemn considering the way some in the crowd were behaving. He didn't call for security. He's up there engaging with people. I'm not quite sure what you see is as so reprehensible here.

Of course, your candidate doesn't engage with people on any kind of real and open level.
