(FamilyConservationPAC.com) – When pro-Palestinian demonstrators and police battled outside the Democratic National Committee (DNC), resulting in the injuries of six officers, the leadership of the House Democrats remained silent for hours.
“House Democratic Caucus Chair Pete Aguilar (D-CA), House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), and House Minority Whip Katherine Clark (D-CA) were all inside the DNC on Wednesday when the violent protests outside the building took place,” a source told CNN.
NBC News said they were present “for a Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) candidate week leadership reception.”
As of late Thursday morning, none of them has acknowledged the police or remarked on the six capital police officers who were hurt.
When Jewish Insider requested comments, none of the leading Democrats replied immediately.
Tonight 6 officers were treated for injuries – ranging from minor cuts to being pepper sprayed to being punched. One person has been arrested for assault on an officer. We appreciate our officers who kept these illegal & violent protesters back & protected everyone in the area.

Director of Communications for the National Republican Congressional Committee, Jack Pandol, criticized Democratic leaders for their lack of response.
“Sometimes saying nothing says everything. Multiple officers injured in the line of duty and Democrats can’t even offer a simple thank you – let alone condemn the antisemitic riot,” he said.
“The glaring truth is, these pro-Hamas rioters represent Democrats’ base of support and they are terrified to offend them,” he added.
Additionally, Pandol retweeted a statement released Thursday morning by Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) denouncing the violent protests:
Last night, pro-Hamas protesters outside the U.S. Capitol violently attacked the Democratic National Committee headquarters. I condemn this criminal activity, which injured six brave Capitol Police officers, in the strongest terms. As Americans, we must unite with one voice in steadfast support of our ally Israel.
“I want to thank the officers with the U.S. Capitol Police who worked quickly to evacuate members, staff and civilians and arrest those engaged in violence. Congress will not be intimidated by this vile display of anti-Semitism,” Johnson added.
Hakeem Jeffries, Katherine Clark, Pete Aguilar, and DCCC Chair Suzan DelBene were in the building last night.
Six cops injured. They have said nothing.

Dozens of “demonstrators got into a shoving match with officers” during what the Capitol Police have called an “illegal” rally, according to NBC.

Our officers are continuing to keep the illegal protesters back from the area. Again, please stay away from the area near Canal Street and Ivy Street, SE.

Paper spray was used by police to drive demonstrators back a block, and those inside the building were evacuated.
“We are outside of DNC demanding they have a ceasefire for the ppl of Gaza & this is how they treat us?”

The violent demonstration took place a few days after Jeffries, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA), and Johnson rallied in support of Israel at the largest-ever pro-Israel gathering on Tuesday, the “March for Israel,” on the national mall.
It also occurred less than two weeks after American Revolutionary War monuments and statues were vandalized by anti-Israeli demonstrators with the Arabic phrase “Tranny Fags 4 Palestine” and “Kos Om Israel,” which translates to “Your mother’s cunt, Israel.”
aside from Hamas being a terrorist org, 93% of Palestinians do not support gay rights.
gay acceptance in Palestine has nothing to do with Hamas, Palestinian culture is anti-LGBT.
these low IQ queers hate Jews so much they march for people who hate thempic.twitter.com/nZhWPXwcOk
