Democrats Condemn Attack On Scott Wiener While Ignoring Radical Transgender Militants And Antisemitism [WATCH]

California State Sen. Scott Wiener left San Francisco’s Trans March on June 26 after a confrontation with demonstrators over his views on Israel, prompting responses from Democratic officials and local leaders condemning the incident, as reported by The Post Millennial.

According to accounts of the event, Wiener was confronted while attending the Trans March at Dolores Park.

The gay, Jewish lawmaker, who is running to succeed former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in the U.S. House of Representatives, has participated in the annual event for many years.

This year marked the first time since the Trans March began in 2004 that he did not complete the event.

Wiener has long been known as an advocate for LGBTQ issues in California. During the confrontation, demonstrators criticized him over his position on Israel, and witnesses reported that he was jeered and taunted before leaving the park.

Following the incident, the California Democratic Party issued a statement condemning what occurred.

“The harassment and violence shown from yesterday’s march in San Francisco towards Senator Scott Wiener is unacceptable and must be called out,” the statement said.

The party also referenced Wiener’s “16 years in service” and his advocacy “for the LGBTQ+ community.”

After the incident, Wiener said the conduct of those confronting him made it impossible for him to remain safely at the event.

“They were so physically and verbally aggressive that it was impossible” for him to “safely remain in the park,” Wiener said.

The senator also noted that it was the second time within one week that he had been confronted by activists over his views on Israel.

He said a man who confronted him earlier in the week during a televised FIFA World Cup match in San Francisco’s Mission District was the same individual who had confronted him in 2023 over what Wiener said was his “tainted bloodline.”

The confrontation comes after Wiener’s recent decisions regarding issues related to Israel.

He previously stepped down from the California Legislative Jewish Caucus following debate surrounding his position on whether Israel’s war against Hamas should be described as “genocide.”

California Congressman Kevin Mullin also responded to the incident, condemning what he described as “hate speech, harassment, and violence.”

What happened to Senator @Scott_Wiener last night was unacceptable. Here in the Bay Area we have a long and proud history of heated protest and passionate disagreement; last night was not that. There is simply no place for hate speech, harassment, and violence – in our politics… https://t.co/LBVnxPIt9Y

San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie specifically addressed what he characterized as antisemitism directed at Wiener.

“As mayor,” Lurie said, “I can never accept hate directed at a member of our community. The language directed at Sen. Wiener yesterday was targeted, hateful, and antisemitic. In San Francisco, we welcome disagreement and respectful dialogue around issues many of us feel passionately about—but we cannot allow harassment and threats of violence.”

Lurie also encouraged residents celebrating Pride events to prioritize safety.

“If you’re out celebrating Pride this weekend, I want you to be able to do it safely. Let’s also look out for each other so we can all have a great weekend. We are at our best as a city when we celebrate each other, and I’m looking forward to doing that tomorrow.”

The incident also generated reactions from commentators on social media.

Kara Dansky argued that Wiener had not previously spoken out when activists targeted women advocating for women’s rights.

Andy Ngo wrote, “This is what you’ve empowered.”

Anthony Cabassa also commented on the incident, writing, “Not sorry that what you helped create is now coming for you for not being far left enough.

Now you can say the far left is a much bigger threat to you than the far right, which does not exist in CA legislation. Enjoy Senator. Mazel Tov.”

The confrontation occurred during San Francisco’s Pride weekend and drew attention from elected officials and commentators as discussions continued over political activism, public demonstrations, and safety at community events.
