top ten ambushed press conferences do
not ever touch me again do not ever
touch me click for this list
we’ll be taking a look at the press
conferences throughout history that were
disrupted in particularly notable
fashion be it an aggressive protester or
an attention diverting moment these
conferences found themselves more than a
little burdened leave ala Belgium even
number 10 glitter for the european
central bank and will underpin the firm
when it comes to banking matters glitter
and paper may not be the first things
that jumped to mind just before he could
begin discussing Europe’s economy
European Central Bank President Mario
Draghi was pelted with white paper and
confetti by a table hopping protester
said protester who was later identified
as Josephine Witt a former member of the
feminist group FEMEN I am I am a young
woman and all I can do as an activist
just to remind him of his duty is to
remind him of his job it was certainly a
bold disruption especially given the
fact that Witt identified herself as a
freelance activist after the fact and
then there was Mario Draghi sitting
there like it was incredible number 9
Cincinnati issue 9 press conference
do not ever touch me again do not ever
touch me sounds like someone has an
issue here and not just with issue 9 in
November 2009 the city of Cincinnati
debated the merits of the Cincinnati
streetcar referendum issue 9 which would
require any City
and passenger rail service to be
approved by a citywide boat in the midst
of a press conference
one particular issue nine supporter
attempted to gain attention from cameras
on the scene only to dispute with an
anti issue nine speaker we did not try
to disrupt the heated nature of the
resulting conversation definitely
cemented one point this isn’t an easy
matter to resolve number eight Benjy
Bronk and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell
news conference of all the things to
shout out why this during a press event
on behalf of the National Football
League the organization’s Commissioner
Roger Goodell attempted to address
violence carried out by athletes in the
middle of the conference Benjy Bronk a
writer for the Howard Stern Show made a
comment about Goodell’s handling of the
incident where NFL player Ray Rice
knocked out his fiance Bronk was then
escorted out though not before crying
out an odd but highly referential
request number seven protester calling
out the NRA and the monsters and the
Predators of the world know it and
exploit it you certainly can’t deny the
sheer bravado on display here in the
aftermath of the 2012 Sandy Hook school
shooting Wayne LaPierre the executive
vice president of the NRA was asked to
speak about the matter
early in Lapierre’s speech supporting
increased gun distribution a protester
came forward to block Lapierre from the
audience and media by carrying a sign
saying NRA killing our kids as the
protester was escorted out by security
he made
illicitly clear the amount of vitriol he
had for the NRA we are children whether
you agree or disagree at least the
message was apparent number six
transgender heckler at the White House
okay you know what no no no no no no no
no no no no no no no no protests have
their place to be sure but this doesn’t
feel like it after the US Supreme
Court’s decision to legalize gay
marriage in all 50 states the White
House hosted their annual event
celebrating LGBT Pride Month at which
President Barack Obama spoke enter
genocide Gutierrez a transgender woman
and outspoken activist who called for
Obama to end the deportation of LGBT
immigrants listen you’re my house
though Gutierrez this loud request was
notable it was Obama’s shift from
amusement to restrained irritation that
made the event outright fascinating
anyway where was I I love you back
number five
topless activist protests Quebec
Minister news conference the things
people do to get attention in April 2015
Quebec sculture Minister and Linda bid
was caught off guard by the sudden
appearance of Neda Topolsky a known
activist for the feminist group FEMEN
however it was not Tobolowsky z’
presence but her actions that raised the
most i browse she entered and promptly
exposed her breasts repeatedly shouting
statements against the proposed bill xx
intended to promote family medicine and
to amend certain provisions for abortion
that is until security arrived it goes
without saying that it was a bold act
but its effectiveness in drawing
attention cannot be denied for no
justice no peace a simple slogan yet no
less effective today not long after the
fatal shooting of North Charleston
citizen Walter Scott by a police officer
the city’s mayor Keith semi held a press
conference to discuss the videotape
showing the shooting and his remorse
about the matter I’m asking you to
respect me as I’m going to respect you
at first seemingly well regarded Summy
speech was interrupted by protesters
chanting the simple line no justice no
peace people can hear you’re about to
close this place conference everyone
present had legitimate grievances some
II wanted to maintain order
the protesters wanted justice for a
wrongful death yet tragically they were
driven to conflict by the situation
number three raining money on Sepp
Blatter it’s my security when the term
make it rain was invented one has to
imagine this wasn’t the expected result
yet rain it did for Sepp Blatter the 8th
president of FIFA at a press conference
discussing his plans to not return for
another term Blatter was approached by
Simon broad camp a British comedian who
handed him a stack of fake money
simulating a bribe as broad can was
escorted away by security he tossed the
bills into the air showering bladder and
money and capping off clear satire with
quite the visual flourish we have to
clean here first all the ways I will not
be able to speak you ladies and
gentlemen when we speak about football
number two a cocky flight at a Russian
press conference
bad pun aside this is still among the
most bizarre of public events imaginable
while speaking to the media in 2008
Russian political activist and former
chess master Gary Kasparov was drawn to
an unusual sight
a flying remote-controlled dildo said
phallic object flew about further
disrupting the press conference in
incredible fashion before being brought
down by a firm slap
we’re not sure what to take away from
this but regardless we are entranced and
amused before we unveil our number one
pick here are some honorable mentions
investigate 9/11 a 9/11 was perpetrated
by people within our own government this
she is just like this she’s only 2 is
the craziest thing you’ve ever seen days

don’t for that really love it does my
other one number one President Bush’s
shoe incident however you may feel about
former US President George W Bush there
is no doubt about his reflexes during a
press event in Baghdad in 2008 Bush was
met with Iraqi journalists one 2-door
Alzate who voiced his displeasure
through the practice of shooing Bush’s
quick dodge of not one but two thrown
shoes was impressive enough but what
makes the disruption interesting is the
president’s immediate nonchalance when
discussing the incident but let me talk
about the guy throwing the shoe it is
one way to gain attention we’ll say this
it’s certainly made for an interesting
conference through and through but one
thing is for certain he caused you to
