    Because the reason is more important than any one protestor:

    The protest, which was organized by Jewish Voice for Peace in NYC, aimed to “disrupt President Biden’s appearance” on the show and “protest against Biden’s complicity in the Gaza genocide,” according to the organization’s Instagram page.

    The group also shared photos and video from the protest that show Schafer sitting with other protestors and chanting “No more weapons, no more war, ceasefire’s what we’re fighting for,” while wearing a “Ceasefire Now” t-shirt. She was later photographed being taken away in handcuffs.
