Here’s what Fox News reported:
Gov. Ron DeSantis of Florida’s address to the New Hampshire GOP’s annual fundraising dinner on Friday was momentarily interrupted a couple of minutes into his speech by a handful of female protesters.
The demonstrators, who appeared to chant “Jews Against DeSantis” made their way all the way to the podium at the sold-out event at a hotel ballroom in downtown Manchester, New Hampshire’s largest city, before they were quickly removed by security.
DeSantis, remaking on the incident, told the audience to cheers and applause that “you’ve got to have a little spice in the speech. Right,” before quickly returning to his prepared remarks.
All guests attending the event, which is the state party’s top annual fundraiser, had to pass through a security sweep before entering the ballroom.

Here’s what the New York Post reported:
Two protesters stormed the stage while Ron DeSantis was delivering a speech in New Hampshire on Friday night — but the Florida governor seemed unbothered by the interruption.
The two women hopped on the stage at the New Hampshire Republican Party’s annual Amos Tuck Dinner at the Double Tree Hilton in Manchester while the likely 2024 presidential candidate gave remarks during his first visit to the state.
The women attempted to unravel a sign while standing behind DeSantis, video of the incident shows.
“Jews against DeSantis! Jews against DeSantis!” the women yelled before they were briskly removed from the stage by security.
DeSantis took the disruption in stride.
“You gotta have a little spice in the speech right?” DeSantis told the crowd to cheers as the women were whisked away.
