The incident highlighted concerns about anti-Israel sentiments within the protest. House Democrats in Washington, D.C., were questioned about their views on burning the American flag and chanting “death to America” by a reporter. The inquiries stemmed from disruptions caused by far-Left protesters on the Brooklyn Bridge during a pro-Palestinian demonstration. This event raised concerns about anti-Israel sentiments present in the protest.
Numerous House Democrats in the nation’s capital refused to condemn burning the American flag and chanting “death to America” when confronted by a reporter this week.
The questions from the reporter came in response to far-Left protesters on the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City this week holding a pro-Palestinian demonstration that disrupted traffic.
“Anti-Israel protesters blocking the Brooklyn Bridge were burning the American flag and chanting ‘Death to America,’” the reporter said to Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA). “Do you support that type of protest? Congresswoman, do you support burning the American flag and chanting Death to America?”
Pressley refused to answer or even acknowledge the reporter.
The reporter later asked Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) the same questions.
“Does it sound like this is pro-Palestinian or anti-American if they’re burning American flags and chanting Death to America?” the reporter asked.
“I’m, I’m not privy to–, to, I haven’t seen these reports,” AOC responded. “I’d have to check for them myself.”
The reporter then asked Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA), who just lost the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate in California if she condemned the actions of the protesters on the bridge.

“We’ve gotta get her onto her next event,” one of Porter’s staffers said.
“Are you okay with people burning the American flag?” the reporter asked.
“If you’d like to follow up with us–” the staffer interrupted.
“Are you okay with people chanting Death to America?” the reporter pressed. “Congresswoman Porter, are you okay with people chanting Death to America? Is it okay? Do you not have a problem with it?”
The staffer repeatedly interrupted as Porter refused to answer any of the questions.
