Sen. Josh Hawley left the stage at an Axios conference in Washington, D.C., due to disruption from pro-Palestinian protesters shouting accusations against him. During an interview with reporter Stef Kight, one protester claimed Hawley supported a war of starvation, prompting Hawley to inquire if he was the first lawmaker disrupted that day. As the shouting continued, both Kight and Hawley exited, but Kight later returned to ask for respect from the audience. Hawley returned to applause, humorously noting it was just another day in the Senate.
