Fetterman Furious After Seeing Video Dems Won’t Condemn – Shows Trump Haters Cheering US Troops Returning in Caskets
A viral video from the Hands Off Iran protest in Philadelphia shows a speaker praising Hamas, Hezbollah and other groups and urging cheers for every American service member who dies, calling for the U.S. to be brought to it’s knees. Demonstrators accompanied the speech with anti-Israel and anti-Trump signage, and the video-which includes an Instagram embed-drew widespread attention and condemnation. The report situates the incident within broader U.S.-Iran tensions, noting comments by officials about Iran’s actions and the ongoing conflict, including claims about Iran’s nuclear activities and subsequent strikes by American and Israeli forces. Hamas issued a statement criticizing Iran’s attacks while urging restraint not to target neighboring countries. The article also includes standard disclaimers from the Daily Caller News Foundation and references to related casualty figures from operation Epic Fury and a military aircraft crash, illustrating the region’s unsettled and dangerous context.
Shocking video from a radical anti-Iran war protest in Philadelphia showed participants explicitly supporting Islamic terror groups and calling for “cheers” every time an American servicemember comes home “in a casket.”
Demonstrators at the “Hands Off Iran” protests have carried signs attacking Israel, President Donald Trump, and even Democratic Sen. John Fetterman. One speaker in a video that went viral Thursday explicitly praised terrorist groups Hamas and Hezbollah, advocating for a “strong Iranian state” to maintain their “fighting capacity” against Israel.
In the clip filmed by Philadelphia-based conservative activist Frankie Scales, the masked speaker drew loud cheers as he declared they celebrate American deaths and called for bringing the U.S. “to its knees.”

At least seven American military personnel were killed from hostile action during Operation Epic Fury, while six others were killed in the crash of an Air Force refueling aircraft in support of the operation.
“Until we have done everything in our power to bring the United States to its knees, let us not lose sight of the enemy,” the speaker said. “For every U.S. military base that crumbles and for every U.S. soldier who returns home in a casket, we cheer. Hamas, Hezbollah, Ansar Allah, all of the resistance forces we celebrate, these popular forces on the ground spend every waking moment in direct confrontation with Zionism, and they rely on a strong Iranian state to maintain their fighting capacity.”
“Do you hate America?” the videographer asked the speaker afterward, eliciting the angry response, “May a Hamas rocket blow up your family’s home.”
Fetterman joined the many thousands responding to the video Thursday, decrying the incident and excoriating fellow Democrats for not condemning the “appalling” anti-American rhetoric.
“Here in Philadelphia. Truly appalling… chanting for the death of our servicemembers,” Fetterman said. “Where’s the Dem outrage and condemnation?”
President Donald Trump announced that American and Israeli forces launched strikes against Iran on Feb. 28 after negotiations over the Iranian nuclear and ballistic missile programs collapsed. Steve Witkoff, Trump’s Middle East envoy, said in a March 2 Fox News interview that Iranian negotiators declared the theocratic regime would keep enriching uranium and claimed to already possess enough material for nearly a dozen “dirty” weapons.
In a March 14 statement, Hamas criticized the barrage of missile and drone attacks Iran has launched against Arab states across the Middle East.
“While the movement affirms the right of the Islamic Republic of Iran to respond to this aggression by all available means in accordance with international norms and laws, it calls on its brothers in Iran not to target neighboring countries,” the terrorist group said.
