Presumptive Democratic nominee Kamala Harris, along with several other Democrats like Nancy Pelosi, stood in solidarity with their pro-Hamas base on Wednesday. As liberal leaders skipped Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech to a joint session of Congress and criticized it as “one of the worst presentations” ever given in the chamber, liberal protestors took to the streets, destroying property, waving Hamas and Palestinian flags, and making threats against Jews.
The Daily Caller documented several cases of anti-Israel liberals taking to the streets of the nation’s capital to spray paint American monuments and burn American flags.
The outlet reported that “Pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel protesters burned the American flag at the nation’s capital during Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s state visit Wednesday. The activists later replaced it with the Palestinian flag, video captured by the Daily Caller shows.
Chaos ensued in Washington, D.C., as police sprayed protesters with pepper spray and protesters lit the American flag and an effigy of Netanyahu on fire.”

“Protesters chanted ‘burn that shit!’ as the flag went up in flames in front of D.C.’s Union Station.
Protesters at Union Station also lowered the American flag from the large flagpole outside of the train station and replaced it with a giant Palestinian flag.”

The protesters came, they told The Washington Post, “to decry Netanyahu’s policies and condemn how Israel has prosecuted the war in Gaza. Although the demonstrators expressed a range of political beliefs about the conflict, they voiced a similar message: The human suffering from the war has continued far too long, and it is past time for Netanyahu to sign a cease-fire deal. Others demanded the release of hostages taken during Hamas’s Oct. 7 attack that precipitated the war and an end to U.S. aid to Israel.
Protesters began gathering midmorning on Pennsylvania Avenue a few blocks from the Capitol holding signs calling for an end to U.S. aid to Israel and others with photos of Netanyahu under the word “WANTED.”
Capitol Police arrested and charged six people with unlawful conduct in the House galleries, said agency spokeswoman Brianna Burch. Earlier in the day, D.C. police arrested five people on Independence Avenue and Fourth Street SW on charges of crowding, obstructing or incommoding in a public place, according to Paris Lewbel, the department’s deputy communications director.
The U.S. Park Police on Wednesday arrested eight people at Columbus Circle, according to spokesman Thomas Twiname. He said officers made the arrests after demonstrators ‘damaged and destroyed park property, including vandalizing statues and fountains, tearing down and burning flags, and starting several small fires.’”
Democratic lawmakers, of course, reflexively defended the protesters, claiming that to say they are pro-Hamas was an exaggeration, but they soon changed their tune after stepping outside of the Capitol.
Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) was outraged by Netanyahu’s suggestion that the protesters were Hamas sympathizers.
A few hours later, he was disturbed to find out that the protesters that he defended were actually Hamas sympathizers.

Later in the night, Joe Biden took to national television to say that Americans “have to decide: Do we still believe in honesty, decency, respect, freedom, justice and democracy. In this moment, we can see those we disagree with not as enemies but as, I mean, fellow Americans — can we do that? Does character in public life still matter?”
He apparently was thinking of Trump supporters as the ones being indecent, not his own side.

The communist demorats shouldn’t be allowed to be in any government job. They should be charged with treason. The mama’s lovers need to be flown to Syria, Jordan, or Iran. That’s where they belong. See how long they last when they protest.
Round them all up and deport them to Gaza.
Prosecute them & send to J6 Prison in DC aside Gaza
America is screwed. The powers that be think anti America/pro Hamas protestors are less of a threat than American defenders/Patriots(J6’s).
Wow – look at all the people the FBI found from the January 6th “invasion”. Do you want to guess how many of these “protestors” will go to jail/prison? Prabably NONE! Just like the “summer of love” BLM protestors = NONE! What a despicable double standard by a DemocRAT run White House!!
