Man Who Heckled Laura and Jenna Bush Arrested after Punching Girl in Wheel Chair

A man who heckled Laura and Jenna Bush as they were leaving a discussion about their children’s book was arrested after he allegedly punched a girl who was in a wheel chair.

 

Laura and Jenna Bush had been at the 92nd Street Y where they spoke before an audience about their book “Read All About It.” As the two were leaving German Talis, 22, began shouting obscenities at the pair and questioned Jenna about Iraq and Iran.

 

John Lovetro who had been in attendance with his wife Wendy and 18-year-old daughter Maureen, reportedly confronted Talis and said “What are you doing? Shut up. This is about a child and books.” He then said, “Get out of here. You're being a moron” at which time Talis walked off but stopped to allegedly punch Maureen who is confined to a wheel chair due to cerebral palsy.
