Roupoli.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cI didn\u2019t hear it when I was up there because she was wearing a mask,\u201d Roupoli told The Epoch Times.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere was a round of applause and you

comment that occurred at one of her first public comment appearances.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>\u201cIt just shows the amount of respect she does have for these parents, and it\u2019s sad that it took the hot mike to expose that,\u201d\u00a0<\/strong>Roupoli said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome were saddened to just see the true colors of how they really feel about the parents because if it was the other way around, I would have been labeled a domestic terrorist, and probably escorted out.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Davidson was not immediately available for comment.<\/p>\n<p>___<br \/>\n<a
