Fox News
Rep. Elise Stefanik, R-N.Y., was booed offstage by protesters at a memorial event in her home district, later calling them "radical Far Left Democrat agitators."
Deirdre Heavey is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
"Today #NY21 witnessed shameful conduct by radical Far Left Democrat agitators who disgracefully attempted to drown out and silence a non-political event in Plattsburgh to honor the lifelong service of John Zurlo in Clinton County as the building was named in his honor," Stefanik said on X on Monday morning.
When Stefanik approached the podium to deliver remarks, protesters booed the congresswoman, shouting, "Traitor!" until she stepped back into line alongside the other officials. Later on, Stefanik returned to the podium and delivered her remarks over the protesters' cries.
