State Senator Says Harassment Chased Him Away From Trans March
- On Friday, Senator Scott Wiener was forced to leave the San Francisco Trans March after protesters surrounded him, harassing him over his stance on Israel and Gaza.
- The confrontation marked the second harassment incident in three days; Wiener had been accosted at a Mission bar during a World Cup match just two days prior.
- Protesters made statements about Wiener's "Israeli handlers" and initiated physical contact. Wiener stated that while disagreement is democratic, "cornering me, touching me, or trying to physically bully me out of a public event, that crosses a line."
- San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie condemned the language as "targeted, hateful and antisemitic," while Wiener's campaign reported receiving its largest single-day donations since launching last October.
- Democratic figures have condemned the targeting of Jewish candidates like Wiener and Manny Yekutiel, signaling broader concerns about antisemitism emerging within segments of the political left.
