George Santos loses control after clash with anti-Israel protester.
George Santos Goes Absolutely Berserk After Confrontation with Anti-Israel Protester
Politics, pandemonium, and publicity all collided on Friday afternoon when Republican Rep. George Santos of New York unleashed his fury while denouncing a critic of Israel.
As WABC-TV recounted the events leading up to the outburst, two individuals were going around the Longworth House Office Building, questioning various members about what they referred to as Israel’s genocide in Gaza.
According to The Hill, former Speaker Kevin McCarthy was approached and asked the same question.
“I support Hamas being killed,” McCarthy responded before walking away.
Santos, who is currently facing multiple allegations, was holding a baby when the group passed by him.
“One of my staffers’ baby. Look at this baby, Mr. Speaker,” Santos exclaimed. McCarthy briefly paused and continued on, as reported by The Hill.
Santos was then asked about Israel’s actions in Gaza.
“Do not record the baby. Do not record this baby,” Santos demanded.

At some point, Santos handed off the baby and returned to confront the activists.
“Officer, officer, this is the gentleman that was accosting me when I had a two-month-old baby in my hands,” Santos informed.
“You came into my personal space,” Santos pointed his finger at one of the activists.

“What’s happening in Israel is abhorrent, that’s what it is, and the next time he tries to accost me with a child in my hands I want him out of here,” Santos declared.
“He is a f***ing terrorist sympathizer. You can go look at the video,” Santos yelled. “The gentleman back there is a terrorist sympathizer that has no business in this building. What is happening in Israel is abhorrent.”

“What is happening to the people of Israel should not be defended. Nobody defending Hamas has any business in this building, whether you’re elected or a civilian. It is a disgrace that we allow people to parade that kind of thought in here,” Santos passionately stated.
Capitol Police reported that Shabd Khalsa, 36, was charged with simple assault “after an officer witnessed him have physical contact with a Congressional Staffer in the Longworth Building,” according to the Daily Beast.

According to The Hill, the man identified himself as Shabd Singh, stating that he was Jewish and opposed to Israel’s policies.
“My ancestors, entire branches of my family were killed in the Holocaust,” he explained. “And I’m here to say, you cannot weaponize Jewish pain to continue the mass murder of civilians in Gaza.”
