However, as soon as he took the\u200c microphone, hecklers in\u200b the crowd\u2063 began\u200b to\u2063 disrupt his speech.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cHold on,\u201d Pittman stepped forward, addressing the\u2064 governor. \u201cWe\u2019re fixin\u2019 to put\u2064 parties aside because it \u2064ain\u2019t about parties today.
