The videos show Pelosi on stage with actress Priyanka Chopra Jonas, attempting to discuss a plan by federal lawmakers to cut carbon emissions while members of the audience loudly booed her.
"It’s thanks to your help that the United States recently enacted historic climate legislation, which will be a game changer,” Pelosi said in her remarks, according to media reports. “It will slash carbon pollution by 40% by 2030, it will give a historic, an historic $370 billion to fight the climate crisis.”
Why members of an audience at Global Citizen, a festival that aims to end poverty around the world, would boo Pelosi is unclear.
Perhaps some were political progressives who were upset at Pelosi's fervent support for Texas Rep. Henry Cuellar during this year's primary elections in that state. Perhaps others were conservative voters who disagree with Pelosi on policy issues like abortion. Or, maybe, some audience members had no idea who she was and were upset that some random lady in a pantsuit was interrupting the music to talk about climate change.
Articles about the incident say that Pelosi agreed to keep her comments brief after the chorus of boos erupted. According to one article, she closed by saying her grandchildren Paul and Thomas were in the audience at the time, which was probably really awkward for them.
