30. He did listen to her--but she was saying the same thing over and over, and she wouldn't

shut up. All of the people cheering OBAMA! OBAMA! while she was being removed are LGBT. It was a Pride Ceremony.

Her gripe was about deportations. No mas deportaciones/no more deportations. She made the point, she should have stopped. She didn't. The rest of the LGBT attendees weren't there to listen to HER, they were invited there to see, hear and meet the POTUS/VPOTUS. She was interfering with THEIR opportunity, which is why her removal resulted in cheers.

Watch the videos--she wanted to be removed, she was firing for effect.
