ANNALS OF LEFTIST AUTOPHAGY: Activists Harass “Progressive” Politician Scott Wiener over Israel and Gaza.

One of the people yelling at Wiener at the march implored him to redeem himself by saying something on the spot to denounce Israel. (The guy who shouted at him at the bar did the same thing.) This is typical of left-wing mobs, which tend to demand ritual acts of obeisance, whether it’s taking a knee during the BLM riots or wearing a cockade during the French Revolution.

Someone also asked how Wiener could have done this to San Francisco, as though his political crime of not condemning the Jewish state in lurid enough terms had done concrete harm to a city that is 7,500 miles from the Gaza war.

Wiener put out a statement appropriately calling out his treatment. In his rapid change of opinion on the question of genocide in Gaza after the primary debate, though, Wiener tried to appease the mob. As a Jew with a suspect record on a litmus test issue for the left, he’s going to have to pander more or surely face continued bullying and intimidation.

Exit question: Spencer Pratt to Scott Wiener: ‘Remember Calling Me McBigot?’ — As Senator Gets Kicked Out of Trans March. “How does it feel now that the Frankenstein you created is coming for you? Every stupid communist learns this history lesson the hard way. Enjoy!”
