Democrat U.S. Sen. John Fetterman on Thursday totally trolled anti-Israel protesters who were being handcuffed at the U.S. Capitol — simply by walking past them while waving a miniature Israeli flag.
“You’re a horrible human being!” one of the protesters — all of whom wore Veterans Demand Ceasefire T-shirts — yelled at Fetterman as he approached the oh-so-annoyed demonstrators.
Here’s what that looked and sounded like:
They booed, they shouted, “Shame!” and they chanted, “What do we want? Ceasefire! When do we want it? Now!”
Fetterman, towering over all of them, appeared to stay silent as he walked past the demonstrators.
What else?
Progressive group About Face called Fetterman a “jackass” and added on X that the Democrat “saw veterans getting arrested and laughed. We asked to see @SenGillibrand. We were put in cuffs. We need leaders who listen to veterans demanding a #CeaseFireNow.”
This wasn’t the first time Fetterman stood up for Israel.
Last month, he called out lawmakers from his own party who jumped the gun to blame Israel for a Gaza hospital bombing when it was soon revealed Hamas was behind the deadly act.
“It’s truly disturbing that Members of Congress rushed to blame Israel for the hospital tragedy in Gaza,” Fetterman said. “Who would take the word of a group that just massacred innocent Israeli civilians over our key ally?”
Also in October, Fetterman announced that he would highlight the identities of those Hamas abducted following its deadly surprise attack against Israel: “My office will display every last one of the innocent Israelis kidnapped by Hamas until they are safely returned home. We won’t stop sharing their stories until then.”
He also said last month, “Now is not the time to talk about a ceasefire. We must support Israel in efforts to eliminate the Hamas terrorists who slaughtered innocent men, women, and children. Hamas does not want peace, they want to destroy Israel. We can talk about a ceasefire after Hamas is neutralized.”
