However, the woman continued yelling at Donalds.
"What you're doing is yelling now and you're being disrespectful. You, ma'am, you are being disrespectful. And I will respect you. And I will honor the fact that you are here trying to get answers," Donald said. "But if you're gonna hold this thing up and be disrespectful, then it's time for you to be removed. You can leave."
The protester was then seen being escorted away by law enforcement. As she was being led out of the auditorium, she shouted, "Free, free Palestine!"
Donalds also encountered a hostile reaction from his audience while responding to a question about oversight being imposed on Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

"You can boo if you want to, but those are the facts. Because if you go back in time, back to 2009," he added. "Then-President Obama famously said that he wanted to examine the efficiencies or lack thereof in the federal government. Elon Musk is doing the exact same thing."
