Shouting to interrupt a speaker is called heckling. It describes disruptive, often hostile comments aimed at challenging or silencing someone while they are speaking. The other terms don’t fit: blasphemy refers to showing disrespect toward sacred things, a spin doctor is someone who presents information in a biased way to influence opinion, and precedent is a principle established by earlier decisions. So the best fit for interruptive shouting is heckling.
