New York Representative George Santos went on a screaming rant in the halls of the Capitol after a civilian asked what Santos was doing about Israel’s “massive bombings of civilians.”
The heated encounter began Friday when Shabd Singh, a 36-year-old Jewish American who is reportedly “Anti-Israel”, confronted Santos (R-N.Y.) about Israel’s policies and the treatment of Palestinians.
The Congressman got extremely emotional, shouting at the man and accusing him of aggressively getting in his face while he held a two-month-old baby in his arms. It remains unclear who baby Santos was holding and why.
“What about the terrorists you tried to defend in this building? It’s abhorrent that you are in this building stepping up for terrorists,” Santos yelled at the man.
Singh continued to blast Santos, calling him a “coward” and a “joke” as the Congressman walked away.
A woman joined Singh in criticizing Santos, labeling him as a “criminal” and mentioned his recent financial charges brought by government prosecutors in New York.
The heated exchange echoed through the hallways of the building, attracting a crowd of reporters.
Santos stormed through the halls of the Longworth House Office Building, one of five buildings used by the House of Representatives, and condemned Hamas’ recent attacks against Israel. He criticized Singh, labeling him as a “f****** terrorist sympathizer” and an “animal.”
“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 shouted at reporters in the halls.
Capitol Police intervened in the tense interaction and arrested Singh, charging him with simple assault after an officer witnessed him have “physical contact” with a Congressional Staffer in the Longworth Building.
Over 3,000 individuals have lost their lives in the Israel-Hamas conflict as of Friday, with thousands more sustaining injuries.
The United States has consistently supported Israel, a historical ally, although President Joe Biden declared on Friday that his administration is committed to addressing the humanitarian crisis in Gaza as a top priority.
This statement followed Israel’s call for the evacuation of Palestinians in the northern part of the Gaza Strip to the south, a request Biden described as challenging due to the area’s high population density.
The United Nations cautioned that the evacuation order could lead to severe humanitarian consequences.
Santos’ emotional outburst concerning the conflict occurred just days after he faced a 10-count indictment for allegedly stealing the identities and financial information of campaign contributors.
Prosecutors assert that Santos attempted to make unauthorized charges exceeding $44,000 using donors’ cards, directing funds to his campaign, other candidates’ campaigns, and his personal bank account. Last week, Santos’ former campaign treasurer, Nancy Marks, pleaded guilty to a federal fraud charge.

Title: New York Representative George Santos’ Emotional Outburst Amidst Israel-Hamas Conflict
Introduction:
In a recent incident at the Longworth House Office Building on Capitol Hill, New York Representative George Santos was involved in a heated confrontation with a civilian regarding Israel’s policies and treatment of Palestinians. The incident resulted in Santos unleashing a screaming rant against the individual, attracting a crowd of reporters. This altercation occurred against the backdrop of the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, with Santos passionately condemning Hamas and defending Israel’s actions. However, this outburst comes shortly after Santos faced a 10-count indictment for alleged financial misappropriation. This article explores the encounter, the broader conflict, and Santos’ legal troubles.
The Heated Encounter:
The disagreement began when Shabd Singh, a Jewish American reportedly critical of Israel, confronted Santos about the country’s “massive bombings of civilians.” Infuriated by the accusation, Santos fiercely shouted at Singh, denouncing him as a terrorist sympathizer. Singh retaliated with further criticism, labeling Santos a coward and a joke. Another woman joined in, referring to Santos as a criminal and highlighting his recent financial charges. The intense exchange took place in the hallways of the building, capturing the attention of observers and reporters.
Santos’ Defense of Israel:
George Santos, in his emotional state, proceeded to storm through the halls of the office building, passionately condemning Hamas for its recent attacks on Israel. He expressed his disgust for Singh, labeling him as a terrorist sympathizer and an animal.

Capitol Police Intervention:
Amidst the tense altercation, Capitol Police intervened and arrested Singh for simple assault. The arrest was made after a Congressional staffer reported physical contact with Singh in the Longworth Building. This incident highlights the broader security measures in place within the Capitol and demonstrates the impact of contentious discussions on the escalating conflict between Israel and Hamas.
The Israel-Hamas Conflict:
The Israel-Hamas conflict has resulted in over 3,000 fatalities as of the incident and has caused thousands more to sustain injuries. Despite the ongoing conflict, the United States has historically supported Israel as an ally. President Joe Biden recently acknowledged the humanitarian crisis in Gaza as a top priority for his administration. Biden faced challenges in responding to Israel’s call for the evacuation of Palestinians from the northern Gaza Strip due to the area’s high population density. Consequently, the United Nations warned about potential severe humanitarian consequences arising from this evacuation order.
Santos’ Legal Troubles:
Santos’ emotional outburst surrounding the conflict occurred shortly after he was indicted on ten counts related to financial misconduct.
