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.

Guess one can't say it's his stance on Israel or mcar Jun 27 #11

LGBTQ people have been harassed and much worse, so why do these people think this is a good way to treat others? chowder66 Jun 27 #12

Was the person who harassed him LGBTQ? yardwork Jun 27 #40

I can't be sure but they were screaming how great he was on trans and LGBTQ issues. chowder66 Jun 27 #47

Do they know how Mossfern Jun 27 #14

So fighting antisemitism is wrong? RandySF Jun 27 #20

Of course not. NOT what I meant AT ALL. scipan Jun 27 #28

I don't think harassment requires nuance Sympthsical Jun 27 #24

OP already noted that he thought Gaza was a genocide. scipan Jun 27 #27

I'm just saying citing his past views doesn't give an accurate picture Sympthsical Jun 27 #31

Well apprised? You may be right. They didn't strike me as well read. and, scipan Jun 27 #38

I'll wait to learn more (if we ever do) but something tells me it's not that complicated. yardwork Jun 27 #42

he advocated for 2 things I disagree with. scipan Jun 27 #34

yeah I usually avoid Israel/Palestine threads. My only disagreement scipan Jun 27 #37

So in essence he does everything that is said sarisataka Jun 27 #18

I think maybe read the excerpt in the post you responed to Mossfern Jun 27 #21

I think maybe it is misunderstanding sarisataka Jun 27 #30

I condemn this wholeheartedly. He has more patience and restraint than I would have had. Celerity Jun 27 #22

Encroaching on his space and being so verbally abusive is disgusting. Wiener has been strong on trans rights. Nanjeanne Jun 27 #29

Appreciate the response Sympthsical Jun 27 #32

I think harassment of people for any reason particularly in a threatening and challenging manner should Nanjeanne Jun 27 #41
