Nancy Pelosi just had an incredibly embarrassing moment as she was booed by the crowd at the Global Citizen music festival in New York City.
More than 60,000 people were in attendance of the fest, excited to see many big name bands and singers perform.
The Global Citizen Organization’s purpose is to engage people to help end extreme poverty, fight climate change, and rid the world of systemic racial, ethnic, gender, sexual, and economic inequalities.
Those who participated in approved acts of activism received tickets to the music event.
“Keep taking action to push countries to further invest in women and girls, call on world leaders to keep their promises to finance climate solutions for the world’s most vulnerable, get African farmers the support they need to respond to the global food crisis, and much more,” the organization’s website states. “By taking action, you could also earn a chance to earn some sweet Global Citizen Rewards!”
So despite the progressive agenda of the event, the young liberal crowd booed Pelosi just as she was introduced.
According to the New York Post, Pelosi was at the event to speak about carbon pollution and climate change.
“As speaker of the house, I am here to thank you for your dazzling advocacy, entrepreneurial thinking, and determination as global citizens,” the 82-year-old Pelosi told the unimpressed crowd.
“It’s thanks to your help that the United States recently enacted historic climate legislation, which will be a game changer,” she continued as the audience became less interested. “It will slash carbon pollution by 40% by 2030, it will give a historic, a historic $370 billion to fight the climate crisis.”
