ANNALS OF LEFTIST AUTOPHAGY: Los Angeles Mayor Shouted Down by Protesters at USC During Speech.

The protesters, who were organized by the Los Angeles Community Action Network and the Los Angeles chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America, resorted to shouting over Garcetti so that he could not continue his speech — a tactic known as “deplatforming” that has been commonly employed against speakers deemed controversial by campus activists.

As Garcetti tried to respond to each complaint individually, the protesters tried to drown him out by singing a revised rendition of “Santa Claus is Coming Town.”

“You better watch out, you better not cry, Eric Garcetti is telling us lies, human rights violations happening now,” they sang.

Garcetti tried to quiet the crowd by citing his first amendment rights, but was unsuccessful.

“Do you respect 1st Amendment rights, do you?” Garcetti said to a one man who refused to listen to his response.

Narrator voice: They don’t.
