Woke protesters turn on their own liberal representative in fiery confrontation at California trans march
2026-06-29
Scott Weiner is a perverted abomination and deserves every bit of hate he receives from his fellow travelers...this time it's over Israel.
He actually accused Israel of genocide a few months ago, so the claim it is is a lie. It’s that he is Jewish, which for the abominations moves him firmly beyond the Pale. Otherwise, some are heard regretting, he is absolutely perfect. See also here.
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] California protestors were heard turning on their own Democratic lawmaker at the San Francisco trans march, as they heckled him over policy surrounding Gaza.

State Senator Scott Weiner, 56, was filmed by an attendee of the pride event at Dolores Park on Friday, as many fuming locals berated the lawmaker for his 'policy on the genocide in Gaza.'

'I think your policy on genocide is terrible,' Dimitry Yakoushkin, who shared the footage on X, was heard telling Weiner. 'I think you do not belong here.'

As the state senator continued walking, more attendees got in his face, including one who raised his middle finger to Weiner.

'You've been terrible on Gaza! You do not belong here anymore Scott and it breaks my f***ing heart,' Yakoushkin was heard yelling.

'It breaks my heart that someone who wrote good legislation for queers is so f***ing terrible on Gaza.'

More hecklers continued to yell at the senator, as the crowd could be heard condemning him as a 'piece of s***' and a 'lowlife Zionist.'

'You stopped being queer the moment you started supporting Israel,' one protestor was heard screaming at Weiner, who is openly gay and Jewish.

Yakoushkin filmed Weiner for just over two minutes as the senator walked through the march, before the video was posted online.

'Scott Weiner showed up to the trans march and for the first time we kicked his a** out,' Yakoushkin wrote alongside the post. 'It's sad because while he's written some good legislation for queers, he's ultimately a genocidal-supporting center right shill.'

'Trigger warning: broken man walking away defeated. Vote Connie!'

Weiner is currently in the middle of a race against San Francisco Supervisor Connie Chan to succeed Representative Nancy Pelosi in the House of Representatives.

The video quickly racked up thousands of views and attracted attention from the likes of failed Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt, who wrote on X: 'See the look on the Wiener guy's face? That's the realization that his Frankenstein ain't going back in the grave.'

'Every communist revolutionary thinks they'll have a seat at the table of power...in reality, they're always the first against the wall,' Pratt added.

In a statement on X, Weiner condemned the confrontation and said: 'Last night I attended the trans march, as I’ve done each year for the past 22 years since the first march in 2004. I attend each year in solidarity with our trans siblings, who are facing existential threats from right wing extremists, including the President.'

'It has been a deep honor to partner for many years with trans people to advance legislation and budget requests to support the community. As I walked through Dolores Park to participate in a trans-led Pride Shabbat service in connection with the trans march, a group of people began screaming at me, ran up to me, surrounded me, and began harassing me, both verbally and physically, including physical contact.

'They made statements about my ‘Israeli handlers,’ among many other inaccurate, extreme, and vile statements. They were so physically and verbally aggressive that it was impossible for me to safely remain in the park. As a result, I left the park and, for the very first time, did not participate in the trans march.'

The incident at Dolores Park followed another confrontation on Wednesday night during a World Cup game, after a man 'accosted' Weiner in the corner of the bar and 'screamed abuse' at him before he was thrown out.

'After being ejected, the man remained outside the bar, shouting my name and pounding on the side of the bar near where I was sitting for several minutes. The same individual, in December 2023, stalked me on a plane and in an airport, shouting at me about my "tainted bloodline,"' Weiner's statement continued.

'I have no objection whatsoever to anyone disagreeing with me, opposing me, or protesting me. All of that is core to democracy. I also have no issue when people talk to me on the street and ask questions or express opposition. That’s democracy, even when the people engaging in this conduct misrepresent my views.

'But when opposition and disagreement transition to harassment, including cornering me, touching me, or trying to physically bully me out of a public event, that crosses a line. We’re living in a time when violence is all too often threatened or used against people in public life. In San Francisco, we’re better than that.'

Yakoushkin, however, further slammed Weiner on X after users jabbed 'the hate-filled left' for turning on one of their own. Yakoushkin instead claimed that the senator is 'no leftie.'

'Bro Scott isn't left. He's definitely not progressive. He's liberal on one (popular in SF) social issue and is a deregulating, tax-break-for-the-wealthy, pro-genocide Log Cabin Republican. He's center-right on a good day and not "one of our own,"' they wrote.

Weiner has championed a number of legislative accomplishments in the California Senate, focusing on issues such as housing and health affordability, immigration and public safety, transportation, mental health, the climate crisis and LGBTQ+ issues.

The pressure on the senator at the recent pride event was met by some with confusion, as just months ago the lawmaker publicly condemned Israel for committing 'genocide.'

Weiner posted a video on social media on January 11 earlier this year, accusing Israel of genocide just days after hesitating to do so during a congressional candidate forum.

'For many Jews, associating the word genocide with the Jewish state of Israel is deeply painful and frankly traumatic, but despite that pain and that trauma, we all have eyes... and we all have ears,' he said in the video posted on X.

'To me, the Israeli government has tried to destroy Gaza and to push Palestinians out, and that qualifies as genocide.'

The video also received large amounts of backlash, including groups such as the Jewish Community Relations Committee of the Bay Area, the American Jewish Committee and a local Holocaust education center.

'Unfortunately, Senator Weiner's newly stated position is both incorrect and lacks moral clarity,' the groups said, according to The Times of Israel.

'The devastation throughout this war - including the loss of life in Gaza and Southern Israel - has been felt by us all. Yet framing this conflict in reductionist and inflammatory terms fuels further hostility toward our community.'

Sam Yebri, a Persian Jewish pro-Israel attorney and Los Angeles influencer, wrote on social media that Weiner has 'no business being co-Chair of the CA Legislative Jewish Caucus.'
