Ahead of the mid-term elections, former US President Barack Obama was heckled by a protestor during his Michigan rally on Saturday while campaigning for Democratic Governor Gretchen Whitmer.
Fox News reported, citing sources, that a male protestor shouted during a pause in the former president’s speech, however, his statement could not be understood due to commotion during the rally.
Responding to the agitator, Obama said, “Sir, this is what I’m saying,” Obama said to the heckler, exasperated. “We’ve got a process that we set up in our democracy. Right now, I’m talking. You’ll have a chance to talk sometime later. You wouldn’t do that in a workplace. “
The audience reacted with haste to the protestor’s statement.
Even after six years of leaving the White House and his position as US President, Obama is the favourite to the Democrats due to the political magic that he creates while engaging with the masses.
This time, he is particularly trying to campaign for the party ahead of mid-term elections and is headlining rallies in five states.
Obama kicked off the rally in the state of Georgia, where Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock, is running for a full six-year term in the Senate.
He will also head to the purple state of Nevada on Tuesday, and to the crucial north-eastern battleground of Pennsylvania on 5 November, Fox News reported.
