Education Secretary McMahon Interrupted by Hackers with Circus Music, Insults at Washington Conservative Conference

Education Secretary Linda McMahon faced multiple disruptions during her speech at the Young America’s Foundation conservative conference in Washington, D.C., when pranksters hijacked the venue’s audio system. The interruptions included a robotic voice calling her a "corrupt billionaire who knows nothing about education," the theme from "Curb Your Enthusiasm," and circus music, with the latter playing as she praised President Donald Trump's working style. Former Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, who hosted the event, humorously blamed the Chinese Communist Party and liberal senators for the disruptions, framing it as an attack on conservative voices. Despite the interruptions, McMahon continued her remarks, discussing her efforts to dismantle the Department of Education as directed by Trump, her former wrestling promoter background, and the administration's approach to education and political issues. The incident highlighted tensions around the administration's education policies and the polarized reactions from attendees and critics alike. Organizers condemned the disruptions as attempts by leftist radicals to silence conservative voices.
