One of the protesters told Clinton, "You will burn," before being removed from the event.
"Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton," the protester began.
"That's my name, that's right," Clinton responded, chuckling.
"You are a war criminal. The people of Libya, the people of Iraq, the people of Syria, the people of Yemen, and the people now, of Palestine," the protester continued as a staff member began to shout over him. "As well as the people of America â will never forgive you!" Hillary Clinton has just been interrupted by three different protesters at Columbia University!

The protester could be heard chanting "Free Palestine" as he was escorted out of the building.
At this point, more demonstrators can be heard heckling her as she says people have a right to protest but do not have the freedom to disrupt events.
Clinton is no stranger to protests at her events.
Approximately 30 students walked out of Clinton's Columbia University lecture in November in support of pro-Palestine protesters.
Clinton was at the university speaking about "womenâs involvement in peace processes."
The students who left the class joined several dozen other protesters in the lobby of the International Affairs building who were upset with the university for allegedly helping to publicly shame students who had signed a letter condemning Israel. NEW: Dozens of students staged a walkout on Hillary Clinton during her class at Columbia University to protest against the schoolâs handling of the âdoxxingâ truck.
Nothing like watching the left tear themselves apart.

In October, independent journalist Alex Rosen was dragged out of an event for questioning Clinton about why her husband, former President Bill Clinton, visited pedophile Jeffrey Epsteinâs private island 26 times.
Clinton was speaking at an event in Houston to campaign for Democrat Mayoral candidate Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee when Rosen confronted her.
âHey, Hillary. Why did your husband visit Epstein Island 26 times?â Rosen asked. I was DRAGGED OUT of a Hillary Clinton rally for asking about Billâs trips to Epstein island! pic.twitter.com/ygqBJAdDR9
