A protest outside the Democratic National Committee headquarters in Washington turned violent. Described by one US lawmaker as ‘pro-terrorist’ and ’anti-Israel’, the demo prompted a lockdown of congressional offices and evacuations of politicians from the Democratic National Committee (DNC) headquarters.

REAL NEWS FOR FREE THINKERS

Demonstrators demanding a ceasefire in Israel’s military onslaught against the Palestinian population gathered on Wednesday night outside the DNC offices, where lawmakers were holding a meeting. The activists blocked police from getting to the doorway. 

‘We were rescued by armed officers, who did not know the protesters’ intent,’ told US Representative Sean Casten, an Illinois Democrat. ‘They knew only those members of Congress were inside, could not leave, and that protesters would not let police through. Forcing police to guess intent is irresponsible and dangerous.’

Footage of the incident shows protesters clashing with police on the steps of the DNC headquarters. Police said six officers were treated for injuries, but only one protester was arrested for assault. 

Nearby congressional office buildings were locked down, and police later ushered people out of the DNC building. Representative Anna Paulina Luna, a Florida Republican, said she had stopped by her office, located about two blocks from the DNC headquarters when the alert was issued. 

‘No sooner did we get inside, we heard murmurs of there being a protest, but we hadn’t at that time realized how bad it was. Probably about maybe 10 minutes later, the entire Capitol and all its facilities went on lockdown,’ she recalled.

Representative Brad Sherman, a California Democrat, said he was evacuated from the DNC building after pro-terrorist, anti-Israel protesters grew violent, pepper spraying police officers and attempting to break into the building. 

Democratic Party leaders, who framed the US Capitol riot of January 2021 as a racist insurrection, stopped short of condemning the demonstrators involved in Wednesday’s violent protest.

The protesters ’escalated their activity in a manner that exceeded a peaceful demonstration,’ the top-ranking Democrats said in a joint statement. They added, ’We strongly support the First Amendment right to freedom of expression and encourage anyone exercising that right to do so peacefully.’ You can share this story on social media:
