U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz’s appearance on Monday’s episode of “The View” was interrupted multiple time by protesters in the audience.
While Cruz was speaking about inflation on the ABC daytime show, a group of women began repeatedly shouting what sounded like “Cover climate now!”
Co-host Whoopi Goldberg responded by saying, ““Ladies, excuse us. Let us do our job! We hear what you all have to say but you gotta go. You gotta let us do our job.” Fellow co-host Sunny Hostin then explained “They’re accusing us of not covering climate change.” Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin joked with Cruz after the interruption, “They weren’t even protesting you.”
Not long after the first interruption, someone else in the audience shouted something directly at Cruz explicit enough to be censored on the broadcast. The show was forced to go to a commercial break after that interruption.
Upon the return from commercial, co-host Ana Navarro told Cruz, “I’ve been very vocal and very critical of you, but I am sorry that this has happened in our house.”
This was not the first time that Cruz got a less-than-warm welcome during his visit to New York this week. While attending a baseball game between the New York Yankees and the Houston Astros at Yankee Stadium on Sunday night, pictures emerged of several fans in attendance giving Cruz the finger as he waved to the crowd. There are also videos of at least one fan shouting obscenities and insults at Cruz as he takes his seat.
