Hawley temporarily escorted off stage after conference interrupted by protesters

Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) was escorted off stage briefly Wednesday after an event was interrupted by pro-Palestinian protesters.

Hawley appeared at the Axios News Shapers forum in Washington, D.C., and was being interviewed by reporter Stef Kight when a demonstrator began shouting toward the Missouri Republican.

“Josh Hawley cannot possibly care about people in this country,” the protester said, bringing the conference to a halt, “because he is supporting a war of starvation.”

“Your career is built on the suffering of children,” another protester interjected.
