‘We f*****g hate you’: Far-left Democrat brutally heckled by LGBTIQ protesters over Israel support

California State Senator Scott Wiener was ruthlessly heckled by far-left LGBTQ protesters while attending San Francisco’s Trans March. On Friday, Wiener was confronted by a former supporter who praised the Democrat’s past legislation before blasting his support of Israel. The viral moment occurred as Pride Weekend began, with Wiener walking through the park as protesters hurled expletive-filled insults at him. Dimitry Yakoushkin posted the clip to X, which showed him confronting Wiener on his position on the war in Gaza. “I think your policy on the genocide is terrible. I think you do not belong here,” Yakoushkin said. As Wiener continued to walk through the park, Yakoushkin and other protesters began yelling at the Democrat, with many yelling, “We f*****g hate you.”

Republicans’ Raging Texts to MAGA Colleague Are Leaked: ‘Stop Embarrassing Yourself’

Kevin Dietsch / Getty ImagesA Republican senator briefly tried to kick a fellow Republican congressman off their shared return flight home from Europe—and the furious text messages that sparked the standoff have now leaked. The blowup involves Mississippi Senator Roger Wicker, chair of the Senate Armed Services Committee, and South Carolina Representative Joe Wilson, the most senior Republican on the House Armed Services Committee. The two men fell out over where to hold next year’s session of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe Parliamentary Assembly—essentially an international forum where lawmakers from dozens of countries gather to discuss security and human rights issues. Wilson has spent more than a year trying to bring that gathering to his home state, and Wicker had appeared to be on board, signing a bipartisan letter in March requesting 4 million in federal funding for the event.
