A group of protesters repeatedly yelled during a campaign rally for Rep. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) on Oct. 28, even shouting during a moment of silence meant to commemorate the 11 people who were killed at a Pittsburgh synagogue the day prior.

Blackburn, who is vying for a Senate seat against former governor Phil Breseden, was being protested against even before she took to the stage. During her 11-minute speech, she touted the accomplishments of the Trump administration, including the record-low unemployment numbers.
