Education Secretary Linda McMahon was disrupted Wednesday during a conservative student conference in Washington, D.C. by an apparent audio hijacking, during which a recording of a voice calling McMahon a “corrupt billionaire” could be heard, as well as circus music and the theme from the popular sitcom “Arrested Development.”

Tapped by President Donald Trump to lead the Education Department last November, McMahon is the wife of billionaire professional wrestling promoter Vince McMahon, and previously launched two failed bids for Senate after personally spending more than $100 million on her campaigns.

While speaking at the event about plans for allocating Education Department funding, a voice could be heard over the loudspeaker calling out McMahon by name...................

While the spoken audio would ultimately cease, audio recordings of the theme song for "Arrested Development" – often used to mock public figures – could be heard blaring throughout the event, followed by the “Entrance of the Gladiators,” a well-known composition commonly associated with circus performers.................
