Clinton heckled in San Diego

Hillary Clinton was heckled by a man with a bullhorn at a speech in San Diego late Sunday. 

The man sounded an alarm on the device in the middle of Clinton’s speech to the American Academy of Pediatrics. Clinton flinched and stopped speaking as the shouting man was quickly taken away by security. 

{mosads}Clinton, who was speaking about early childhood development, came back with a joke.

“You know there are some people who miss important developmental stages,” she said. 

It is not clear what the man was shouting about. 

Clinton announced a new partnership between the Clinton Foundation’s “Too Small to Fail” program and the Academy to provide toolkits for doctors to encourage parents to read to their children from an early age.  

“As we have learned in the last 15 years, scientists can literally watch the synapses and the neurons firing when parents are reading and talking with children from their very earliest days,” Clinton said, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune.

“We don’t have enough research, but I think what we are learning is that the earliest years before a child is 2, televisions, iPads and screens are no substitute for actual parent-child interactions like talking, reading and singing,” she added.
