Liberal politicians assembled to denounce Donald Trump’s executive order temporarily banning refugees from jihadist-infected countries, but they apparently couldn’t find any “real people” to stand with them.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer rallied Democrats outside the Supreme Court on Monday night.

After struggling with the microphone, it came to the point in the program where “real people” were apparently supposed to be featured.

Well, that was awkward… Pelosi, Schumer lead a protest against President Trump, and it doesn’t quite go as planned pic.twitter.com/gf5JiKoCxT — FOX & friends (@foxandfriends) January 31, 2017

After a spontaneous rendition of Woody Guthrie’s socialist anthem “This Land Is Your Land,” Pelosi was caught on a hot mic telling Schumer, “Introduce the real people… I’ll do the real people now.”

“Are they here?” Schumer responded. “Where are they?”

If that wasn’t awkward enough, Pelosi began the protest by struggling with the microphone.

As Pelosi began her speech, some in the audience said they couldn’t hear her.

“Is the sound working?” she said in response. “No,” some said in return.

“I can hear you, can you hear us?” she asked.

A confused-looking Pelosi turned to a colleague and said, “Is the sound working?”

Pelosi attempted to launch into her speech again before stopping again.

“The mic’s not on?” she said, before turning away and saying, “Is somebody going to deal with this?” as Pelosi and her colleagues fiddled with the equipment.

Pelosi then shifted to observing the night sky.

“Look at that moon. It’s a new moon,” Pelosi said.

The Democratic leader tried for a third time to denounce Trump, only to be stopped yet again because no one could hear her.

Pelosi thought yelled into the microphone might work, but it didn’t.

“Staff? Sound people?” she said, before launching into a rendition of Woody Guthrie’s socialist anthem “This Land Is Your Land.”

It’s not clear if she ever did get the equipment to work.
