You wouldn\u2019t do that in workplaces. You wouldn\u2019t just interrupt people in the middle of a conversation. It\u2019s not how we do things.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>However, the heckler disrupted Obama\u2019s speech so much that it took several pleas from Obama before the crowd focused their attention back on him.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo listen,\u201d Obama said in an attempt to regain control of the crowd. \u201cNo, no, no no. Wait, wait, wait,\u201d Obama repeatedly said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"a8d-pre\">\u201cQuiet down,\u201d Obama told the crowd.

They brought in Kamala Harris. They brought in Joe Biden. Most people are running from Joe Biden; Gretchen Whitmer is bringing him in.
