Pretty sure she stopped them in a hallway for a pic. And after they saw the caption they asked her to take it down.
Dave might legitimately not know who she was
Doesn't sound like just a stop in the hallway, but it does look like he objected to the messaging.

Firstly, it's not his job to "bridge the political divide," nor does anyone expect him to be the one to do it, so he needs to turn his ego down about a thousand notches.
Secondly, you do not "bridge the political divide" by posing with one of the craziest and stupidest people in congress. You tell her to fuck off and find a Republican who has a tiny shred of credibility (hard, I know, but you can do better the Boebert).
I’m not sure why you’re being hostile towards Chapelle after finding that context. He was trying to make some sort of peace and got slighted.
And it’s everyone’s job to try to bridge divides in this climate. Would you also tell Swift to stay in her lane? How about Schwarzenegger?
Also despite her being trashy and stupid, Beobert is a representative of her district. If she’s shut out, then her constituents are shut out. And that snubbing is exactly how the maga virus started and keeps perpetuating.
Because you don't try to make peace with someone who wants to destroy the fucking country and turn it into a fascist theocracy. To tell them to fuck right off out of congress and take her recently-acquired GED with her.
Sorry, I don't praise Neville Chamberlain either.
What’s he making piece about? They have identical views on this subject. Maybe he should take a step back and re-learn that lesson he learned back on Comedy Central.
