Palestinian protesters disrupt Katie Porter, Adam Schiff at California Democratic convention, evening events cancelled for ‘safety’

2023-11-20

[WASHINGTONEXAMINER] Reps. Katie Bat Girl Porter
...Dem law professor, attorney and politician serving as the U.S. Representative for Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,'s 45th congressional district (Orange County) since 2019. Katie takes her job and her personal dignity so seriously she once showed up for a committee hearing dressed as Batman....
and Adam Schiff
...Showboating U.S. Representative for California's 28th congressional district since 2013. A member of the Democratic Party, Schiff has served in Congress since 2001. He currently serves as the chairman of the United States House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. In a manner reminiscent of Joe McCarthy, on March 22, 2017, in a interview with Chuck Todd on MSNBC Schiff claimed there was “more than circumstantial evidence now” that Donald Trump's campaign colluded with Russia." Todd followed up by asking if he had seen direct evidence of collusion and Schiff responded that there was "evidence that is not circumstantial and is very much worthy of investigation"...
(D-CA) were interrupted by pro-Paleostinian protesters during their pitches to California Democrats at the state party's endorsing convention.

"Ceasefire now!" the demonstrators repeatedly shouted Saturday in Sacramento, California, during Porter and Schiff's closing statements for the convention's candidate forum.

"I respect your opinions, and I have heard you," Porter said, whose protest was more protracted than that of Schiff. "I'm going to ask you to allow me to please finish my remarks."

After the demonstrators dismissed her and the two forum moderators' appeals to be respectful, California Democratic Party
...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy, white anything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nasty to the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects...
Chairman Rusty Hicks joined Porter onstage, telling the protesters, "every candidate in this race deserves to be heard."

"Every candidate in this race deserves to be heard, so let's allow the congresswoman to finish her remarks," he said.

Hicks returned to the stage during Schiff's demonstration, saying "here" he was "again."

"Give every candidate the opportunity to be heard before we go and make our voice heard at the ballot box," he said.

Outside the convention hall, protesters held a sit-in near one of the doors. At some points, their chants made it hard to hear the candidates speak, except for Rep. Barbara Lee (D-CA), who has called for a ceasefire amid Israel's war against Hamas
Hamas

...a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",...
. Porter and Lee are considered to be more liberal Democrats than Schiff, with Porter's share of the vote at risk over the conflict.

"What do we want?" one demonstrator said.

"A ceasefire," the group replied.

"If we don't get it?" the leader added.

"Shut it down," others responded.

California Democrats cancel events for ‘safety’ amid pro-Palestinian demonstrations

[IsraelTimes] Demonstrators demanding a cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war prompt California Democratic Party officials to cancel evening events during their state convention “for the safety and security of our delegates.”

California Democrats have been meeting in Sacramento this weekend to consider candidate endorsements ahead of the March primary. That includes the state’s competitive US Senate race featuring four Democrats, including three sitting US House members.

The convention was disrupted multiple times Saturday afternoon by pro-Palestinian demonstrators demanding a cease-fire in Gaza. Party officials had increased security for the weekend convention, requiring participants to be scanned and have their bags searched before entering the convention hall.

Following the afternoon session, a large crowd of demonstrators gathered at the hall. Sacramento police closed some roads near the convention center but soon reopened them.

Shortly after voting ended party endorsements, Democratic Party spokesperson Shery Yang said the evening’s events had been canceled.

“Due to circumstances beyond our control, and for the safety and security of our delegates and convention participants, we are cancelling tonight’s caucus meetings, hospitality suites and VoteFest taking place at the convention center,” Yang says.

#1 Are we about to see what happens when you can't ride the tiger anymore? I wonder if they have enough history to remember that Hitler let the SS deal with the party's SA?
