Fetterman Calls New York Pro-Hezbollah Protesters 'Shitheads,' Demands Democratic Condemnation

Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., called protesters who demonstrated in New York City on Tuesday "Pro-Hezbollah / Hamas shitheads" and said the Democratic Party should condemn them.

"Mob of Pro-Hezbollah / Hamas shitheads raging against law enforcement and terrorizing the NYC Jewish community near a synagogue and day care," Fetterman wrote in a post on X on Wednesday.

"Where’s my party’s condemnation?" he added.

Fetterman made the remarks while sharing a post on X that included video footage of people chanting what sounded like anti-Zionist slogans.

The clashes occurred near Park East Synagogue, which had rented space for the Great Israeli Real Estate Event, according to The Forward.

"Park East Synagogue remains steadfast in our commitment to peaceful worship, and we are grateful for the NYPD's tireless efforts in protecting the community of our historic landmark synagogue," a Park East Synagogue spokesperson said in a statement.

Fetterman supports Israel. "In the face of consistent attacks, past and present, our special ally and its people have shown true strength and resilience," he wrote on X last month.

"Israel: I’m proud to stand on the right side of history, and this voice and vote will never waver. Happy Independence Day!" he added.
