Another individual approached the stage with a video camera as she yelled at the congressman. "People did not come here to hear you," Casten told the attendee. "Show some respect for the people in this district."

During the event, Casten was also confronted by a pro-Israel attendee who approached the stage. Police were eventually called to the scene, and the event was cut short.
