The pro-Hamas protesters continue to try to disrupt events with their protests. Comic Jerry Seinfeld handily dealt with several interruptions to his stand-up comedy routine on Saturday night.
Seinfeld performed at Chrysler Hall in Norfolk, Virginia. He was interrupted several times by the Free Gaza crowd. Protesters screamed about genocide, accusing him of supporting genocide. One man who stood up and yelled toward the stage was escorted out. The audience booed each interruption and told them to leave.

Seinfeld took the interruptions in stride. He mocked the useful idiots as he waited for the first protester to be escorted out.
‘You’re a genocide supporter!’ the man said, before gesturing to the entire crowd and also accusing them of being ‘genocide supporters.’
‘You should all be ashamed of yourselves!’ he shouted.
Audience members were loudly booing the heckler, with some telling him to ‘get out of here.’
Fewer than 30 seconds after the Palestine supporter made himself known, a man in a green shirt ran up and started attacking him, eventually putting him into a headlock.
‘I love a little Jew hate to spice up the show,’ Seinfeld said as the fight broke out.
The crowd chanted, “Jerry, Jerry, Jerry” as the man was escorted out. It took security about 20 seconds to get to the man, according to reports.
Seinfeld told the audience not to boo because he had the right to protest. Other protesters disrupted the performance throughout the evening. All together, there were eight disruptions to Seinfeld’s act.
Later a protester yelled, ‘Save the children of Gaza! No more American tax dollars for genocide!’ The woman sitting next to him told him to shut up and get out.
Seinfeld is one celebrity who has been clear in his support of Israel from the start of the Israel-Hamas war. Last weekend he was the commencement speaker at Duke University. A few malcontents who support Hamas in Gaza walked out as Seinfeld was introduced but the ceremony was not disrupted. Seinfeld’s daughter graduated from Duke last year and his son is a student there.
Seinfeld is a class act. He rolls with whatever happens.
The venue released a statement.
“We are deeply disappointed that a group of protestors disrupted tonight’s sold-out Jerry Seinfeld performance at Chrysler Hall,” show producer SevenVenues told WTKR. “SevenVenues stands by its policy to remove hecklers and those who disrupt a performance, and will continue to protect the freedom of its patrons to enjoy an artist of their choosing without disruption.”
Seinfeld was heard saying that the protesters aren’t winning over supporters with these disruptions. He’s right. It’s the same when they shut down traffic with their protests. All it does is anger people. Imagine paying to go to a Seinfeld show and expecting a nice evening out, only to have to listen to these idiots. The fringe left encourages Hamas to keep fighting, the opposite of what they say they want. They are truly clueless.
