WATCH: President Obama shuts down heckler

The president has had his fair share of critics but one heckler got more than he bargained for when he interrupted the leader of the free world recently.

 

Obama was addressing guests during an event at the White House to mark LGBT Pride Month when an audience member tried to disrupt him.

 

"Okay, you know what? No, no, no, no, no. Hey! Listen you're in my house ... it's not respectful. You shouldn’t be doing this," he told the man, who apparently was protesting against US immigration policies. 

 

The audience booed the heckler who continued to disrupt the president. 

 

“As a general rule, I am just fine with a few hecklers. But not when I am up in the house,” Obama said after the man was eventually removed from the East Room.

 

Obama said guests who are “ eating the hors d'oeuvres…and drinking the booze” should show some respect. We hear you, Mr President.
