I don't think disruptive protest is a good look no matter your position. Horseface may have sounded like a condescending elitist cunt (per usual), but the dude sounded like a toddler fitting over sweets in the checkout lane. The number of microphone stealing stage chargers lately is so cringey. There is a way to level pointed and provoking criticism without whining and this guy missed it.
"Thank you for the opportunity to provide my comments today. I propose that no one else should have to die abandoned and alone in the desert sands of political self-enrichment like your Libya ambassadors and security team. You may keep a sociopath's comfort in the millions pocketed when trading US interests and lives for foreign policy favors, but our sons, brothers, and fathers have only the comfort of a flag draped aluminum box after your deals. No more wars for your friends. No more lives lost for your person gain. No more pillaging of American capital dressed up like beneficial foreign policy. I'd have more respect for you if you made your living on your back. At least then you would only be destroying yourself, not thousands of American families. It stops now!"
See, only 45 seconds and no tantrums.

Writing a comment is nothing like standing up at a live event. You would be challenged in real time, at any time, and that would break the flow of even the best prepared speech.
This guy did very well to hold them off and say as much as he did. Will it matter? NO, it has already been memory holed. Replaced by the next comment, story, tik-tok video.

60 seconds, tops. ;-)
That's fair. Emphatic pauses are important.
