Members of Congress belonging to the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) have not condemned the violent anti-Israel protest that targeted the headquarters of their own party in Washington, D.C., this week.
The offices of representatives Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich.; Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.; Greg Casar, D-Texas; and Cori Bush, D-Mo., did not respond to Fox News Digital's multiple requests for comment concerning the violence that erupted Wednesday when pro-Palestinian demonstrators calling for a cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war rioted outside the Democratic National Committee (DNC).
None have released a public statement addressing the violence, other than Bush sharing a statement on X from left-wing group IfNotNow Movement blasting House Speaker Mike Johnson for his criticism of the protest.
U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) responded to what they said were 150 people "illegally and violently protesting" near the DNC headquarters building in the Capitol Hill neighborhood. The ensuing clash led to a number of injuries to police and protesters and led to the evacuation of multiple Democratic members of Congress and candidates attending a reception inside the building at the time.
USCP confirmed on X that six officers were injured during the clash, which included injuries ranging from minor cuts and pepper spray burns and punches from protesters.
Rep. Debbie Dingell, D-Mich., who was inside the DNC during the protest, told Fox the violence "rattled" her more than the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riots, while Rep. Brad Sherman, D-Calif., who was also inside, said many anti-Israel protesters are being "duped" into supporting Hamas terrorism.
Tlaib, Ocasio-Cortez, Casar and Bush's refusal to condemn the violence comes just weeks after the DSA was blasted as "morally bankrupt" over its response to the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas on Israel that resulted in the deaths of more than 1,300 Israelis, including children and babies.

AOC sent the mob over to bully the DNC. The squad was inside demanding protection from primary challenges that the AIPAC will fund to the tune of 100 million. The mob was pure political intimidation.
Democrat Socialists will do to America the same that was done to the German Weimar Republic. Ultimately a Communist War will ensue.
It’s how these things work out.
Be ready.
most likely, they led it.
You know who else were
Democratic Socialists

The ww2 Nazis.
SSDD.
It’s the Bolsheviks versus the Mensheviks all over again ...
Of course. They are only interested in how to shift the blame for it on Islamophobia.
