‘FOUR MORE YEARS!’ Dem Crowd Shouts Down Lone John Fetterman Protester At Florida Conference
Pro-Israeli Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) was interrupted by a lone protester, seen in the video below at a Florida Democratic conference on Saturday.
Prior to his keynote speech, he sparked outrage from the state party’s Progressive Caucus who argued he should not be invited because he “betrayed the trust of his constituents” by defending Israel amidst the war with Hamas in Gaza.
“His recent statements and actions, particularly regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, stand in stark contrast to the values of equality, justice and peace that this supporters stand for,” the caucus wrote in a letter to the Florida Democratic party.
However, the state party refused to give in to the progressives’ demands by allowing the Pennsylvania lawmaker to speak at the Leadership Blue conference at Disney’s Contemporary Resort in Orlando on Saturday night. Which not everyone loved it seemed.

In the middle of Fetterman’s keynote address, a lone protester interrupted him which led the conference crowd to band together and shout down the female demonstrator with the phrase, “Four more years!”
According to Mediaite’s Sarah Rumpf, the protester was alone in her chants as the audience continued shouting over her. Disney security asked her to leave, and when she did not, deputies from the Orange County Sheriff’s Office arrested her, put her in handcuffs, and removed her from the room.
