Jewish Democrat Scott Wiener harrassed in Dolores Park [View all]

Scott Wiener is one of the two Democratic candidates running to fill Nancy Pelosi's seat in S.F. And for those playing at home, Wiener has referred to events in Gaza as a genocide, condemns Netanyahu, and doesn't support funding of Israel. So what mysterious reason could he be targeted in such a manner? We may never know!

The video is a whole lot:

Maybe if he was even more forcefully against Netanyahu, he wouldn't get harassed as much? For his safety. That's what I've been told.

That man seriously should have security around him after this. These people are frightening.
