Obama to Protester Interrupting:  ‘Can’t Just Talk and Not Listen … That’s What the Other Side Does’

” the occasion was frequently interrupted by protestors inside the auditorium. Throughout different moments of the event, attendees would shout over the discussion, referencing Biden’s support of Israel in the Hamas war that has killed over 30,000 in Gaza.

When the discussing the “realities of the presidency,” Obama said that the “world has a lot of joy and beauty, but it also has a lot of tragedy and cruelty.” The former president then addressed Biden’s handling of the war in Gaza.

At this point, Obama was interrupted by a protestor inside the theater. Speaking to the protestor, Obama said, “You can’t just talk and not listen … That’s what the other side does.” He added, “It is possible for us to understand that it is possible to have moral clarity and have deeply held beliefs, but still recognize that the world is complicated and it is hard to solve these problems.”

He continued, “The reason that I think was one of the best vice presidents we’ve ever had, and the reason why I think he has been an outstanding president, is because he has moral conviction and clarity. But he’s also willing to acknowledge that the world is complicated, and that he’s willing to listen to all sides in this debate and every other debate and try to see if we can find common ground. That’s the kind of president I want.
