Before beginning a campaign event in a packed lecture hall at the University of Iowa, Newt Gingrich was interrupted by Occupy Wall Street protesters.
“Mic check!” a protester yelled, a phrase used by the movement to begin a chant. Mr. Gingrich didn’t appear to catch on at first. “What’s wrong?” he said.
Shouting ensued for about five minutes as the protesters complained the former House speaker had an arrogant attitude toward poor people and ignored child labor laws. They were soon escorted out.
“I’m going to try to talk over them,” said Mr. Gingrich, an outspoken critic of the Occupy movement. “I appreciate the 95% of you, maybe even the 99% of you, who will actually have an intelligent discussion and are not going to be drowned out by the 1% who try to impose their will by making noise.”
