Occupy Protesters Heckle Gingrich in Iowa

HeadlineDec 15, 2011

Newly resurgent Republican presidential hopeful Newt Gingrich was demonstrated against on Wednesday during a speech at the University of Iowa. A protester led the crowd in an Occupy Wall Street-style “mic check.” With the Iowa caucuses three weeks away, Gingrich is holding a lead over Mitt Romney in national polls for the Republican nomination.

Protesters: “Mr. Gingrich, we are here to protest your speech today… We object to your callous and arrogant attitude toward poverty and poor people.”
