Ron DeSantis speech to New Hampshire Republicans momentarily interrupted by protesters
Organizers say DeSantis helped the New Hampshire GOP break fundraising records for a GOP donor event
MANCHESTER, N.H. – Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida’s address to the New Hampshire GOP’s annual fundraising dinner on Friday was momentarily interrupted a couple of minutes into his speech by a handful of female protesters.

The demonstrators, who appeared to chant "Jews Against DeSantis" made their way all the way to the podium at the sold-out event at a hotel ballroom in downtown Manchester, New Hampshire's largest city, before they were quickly removed by security.

DeSantis, remaking on the incident, told the audience to cheers and applause that "you’ve got to have a little spice in the speech. Right," before quickly returning to his prepared remarks.

All guests attending the event, which is the state party’s top annual fundraiser, had to pass through a security sweep before entering the ballroom.
