A Pro-Palestine protester was left lost for words after accusing GB News reporter Alex Armstrong of being "far right" but was unable to explain what the term even meant.
The exchange took place during a pro-Palestine protest just two days after a terrorist attack on a Manchester synagogue.
When asked by Alex why he was being branded “far right”, the protester repeatedly refused to answer, saying: “I don’t need to prove it because you know it” and failed to answer the question.
At one point, a man played a siren through a megaphone into Alex’s microphone, drowning out his words.

Alex calmly replied: “It’s free speech in this country, you just don’t like free speech.”
The protester then claimed the journalist was “not even a journalist”, adding: “Darling, I could be a better journalist than you.”
Unfazed, Alex pressed again: “Alright, can you define far right?”
But the protester still couldn’t answer, insisting: “I don’t need to define something to you.”
Later on GB News, Alex said: "I'm not going to be cowed by some intimidatory acts by the far left, and neither is it going to stop me from doing my job.
"If they think their comments get under my skin, trust me, I've had far, far worse than that thrown at me before.

The demonstration comes amid heightened tensions following the recent attack at a synagogue in Manchester where two people died.

The attacker, who was shot dead at the scene, was confirmed to be 35-year-old Jihad Al-Shamie, a British citizen of Syrian descent.
Greater Manchester Police Chief Constable Sir Stephen Watson said the only shots fired outside the synagogue came from armed officers, as Al-Shamie himself was unarmed.
In a statement released on Friday, Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Rabbi Daniel Walker, its president Hilary Foxler and chairman of trustees Alan Levy, described the terror attack as a "desecration".
It is understood that police are still no closer to providing a conclusive motive for the attack.
