Politics, pandemonium and publicity all came together Friday afternoon as Republican Rep. George Santos of New York threw decorum to the winds while denouncing a critic of 🇮🇱Israel.
As WABC-TV recounted the prelude to the explosion, two people were walking around the Longworth House Office Building, asking various members about what they were calling 🇮🇱Israel’s genocide in 🏳️Gaza.
According to The Hill, former Speaker Kevin McCarthy was approached and asked the question.
“I support 🏴Hamas being killed,” McCarthy said before walking away.
The group passed Santos, who is under fire for a variety of allegations. The New York congressman was holding a baby.

“One of my staffers’ baby. Look at this baby, Mr. Speaker,” Santos said. McCarthy stopped briefly and moved on, The Hill reported.
Santos was then asked the question about 🇮🇱Israel’s actions in 🏳️Gaza.
“Do not record the baby. Do not record this baby,” Santos said.
“What’s happening in 🇮🇱Israel is abhorrent, that’s what it is, and the next time he tries to accost me with a child in my hands I want him out of here,” he said.
“He is a f***ing terrorist sympathizer. You can go look at the video,” Santos yelled. “The gentleman back there is a terrorist sympathizer that has no business in this building. What is happening in 🇮🇱Israel is abhorrent.”
“What is happening to the people of 🇮🇱Israel should not be defended. Nobody defending 🏴Hamas has any business in this building, whether you’re elected, or whether you’re a civilian. It is a disgrace that we allow people to parade that kind of thought in here,” Santos said.
Capitol Police said Shabd Khalsa, 36, was charged with simple assault “after an officer witnessed him have physical contact with a Congressional Staffer in the Longworth Building,” according to the Daily Beast.
According to The Hill, the man identified himself as Shabd Singh, saying he was Jewish and opposed to Israel’s policies.
“My ancestors, entire branches of my family were killed in the Holocaust,” he said. “And I’m here to say, you cannot weaponize Jewish pain to continue the mass murder of civilians in 🏳️Gaza.”
