"Lutnick was speaking at an invite-only VIP dinner event hosted by billionaire BlackRock boss Larry Fink when a heckler, now identified as climate change advocate and former Vice President Al Gore, started booing the former Cantor Fitzgerald CEO."
"I sat and listened to his remarks, Gore said. I didn't interrupt him in any way. It's no secret that I think this administration's energy policy is insane. And at the end of his speech I reacted with how I felt, and so did several others."
"The soiree was halted before dessert came out, Reuters reported."
Al Gore heckled Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick during an invite-only VIP dinner in Davos, Switzerland. The dinner was hosted by BlackRock CEO Larry Fink and included prominent attendees such as European Central Bank President Christine Lagarde, who reportedly walked out after Lutnick's remarks. The soiree was halted before dessert. Gore later confirmed his reaction in a statement to Mediaite, saying he listened and then reacted because he views the administration's energy policy as "insane" and that several others reacted as well. The incident occurred a day before President Donald Trump's speech to world leaders.
