Senator Wiener’s Statement on Physical Intimidation and Harassment of Political Leaders

SAN FRANCISCO – In two separate incidents this week, Senator Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco) was harassed, threatened, and physically intimidated while attending public events to engage with the San Francisco community. Both incidents were sparked by people who had previously targeted Senator Wiener with aggressive behavior in the past. Senator Wiener issued the following statement on the incidents:

”Last night I attended the trans march, as I’ve done each year for the past 22 years since the first march in 2004. I attend each year in solidarity with our trans siblings, who are facing existential threats from right wing extremists, including the President. It has been a deep honor to partner for many years with trans people to advance legislation and budget requests to support the community.

”As I walked through Dolores Park to participate in a trans-led Pride Shabbat service in connection with the trans march, a group of people began screaming at me, ran up to me, surrounded me, and began harassing me, both verbally and physically, including physical contact. They made statements about my ‘Israeli handlers,’ among many other inaccurate, extreme, and vile statements. They were so physically and verbally aggressive that it was impossible for me to safely remain in the park. As a result, I left the park and, for the very first time, did not participate in the trans march.

“This follows an incident Wednesday night at a bar in the Mission where I’d gone to watch a World Cup game. During the game, a man accosted me in a corner of the bar, effectively cornering me and the young women staffers who were with me. He screamed abuse at me and our staff before being ejected by the bar’s employees. After being ejected, the man remained outside the bar, shouting my name and pounding on the side of the bar near where I was sitting for several minutes. The same individual, in December 2023, stalked me on a plane and in an airport, shouting at me about my ‘tainted bloodline.’

”I have no objection whatsoever to anyone disagreeing with me, opposing me, or protesting me. All of that is core to democracy. I also have no issue when people talk to me on the street and ask questions or express opposition. That’s democracy, even when the people engaging in this conduct misrepresent my views.

“But when opposition and disagreement transition to harassment, including cornering me, touching me, or trying to physically bully me out of a public event, that crosses a line.  We’re living in a time when violence is all too often threatened or used against people in public life. In San Francisco, we’re better than that.”

@dough_bria57083 @dpetr12676 @overrated_sec @tbhorka The poster’s point is obvious if you watched the games. Also true that Indiana was a little better than ND last year and it would have been a 60/40 game. But the Alabama draw was a gift. Syracuse with crimson uniforms.

What sane nation would not want to import Ragab and other university of Cairo faculty members who can regale us with these types of insights?

[Yossi BenYakar @YossiBenYakar]

An imam in Alabama, Ragab Abdelmoneim of the Islamic Academy of Huntsville, openly told his audience that Muslims must be ready to sacrifice their lives through jihad in order to establish “the religion of Allah” in the United States.
He claimed that victory over America is closer than ever.
This isn’t being preached in some remote village overseas. This is being said openly on American soil.
At what point does this stop being protected “religious speech” and become a national security threat?
How is he not arrested?

The Democrat party encouraged and coddled the Dem Socialists, both for power and to establish progressive bona fides. Now the pet alligator has grown up and will devour them all and there’s nothing they can do to stop it.

Imagine what your iPhone would look like if Bernie Sanders had overseen its development.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Corporate greed is Tim Cook, the billionaire Apple CEO, claiming that hiking prices on Apple products by over $200 is "unavoidable" after it made $112 billion in profits last year & spent $310 billion on stock buybacks.

These price hikes aren't unavoidable. They're unacceptable.

I’d love to know whether Joy’s $30 million net worth is afraid of the Dem socialists.

[Marco Foster @MarcoFoster_]

Joy Behar: “They’re not afraid of the term Democratic Socialism. I’m not scared of the term. Social Security is Democratic Socialism. Unemployment insurance, the people who pick up your garbage, the people who take the fire out at your house. All of these things are Democratic Socialism. People have had it with this right-wing nasty politics that we’ve had to subject ourselves to since this guy got into office”

@usafss74 @SeanTrende @MinnesotaMike1 I think Pete doesn’t need it either. See that was easy.

[Kevin T. Kerns @KevinTKerns]

@SeanTrende @JCChicagoHusky The program was sold initially and at every subsequent tax hike as a savings program. If its welfare sell it as such and see if public bites.

@Apathy_Overdose @DschlopesIsBack Are his points wrong?

[Kevin T. Kerns @KevinTKerns]

@DschlopesIsBack @stottpie So what? Do you disagree with him and if so, why?

@joebentivegnamd @DisavowTrump20 While trump’s behavior is often indefensible, this tweet is indisputable.

[Kevin T. Kerns @KevinTKerns]

@Emma_UD_Adams @EJdc @EndWokeness “Literally” seems misplaced here and confuses the issue.

[Kevin T. Kerns @KevinTKerns]

@Christianuzo58 @BernieSanders No. In the US Everyone at every level loves how rich people lived 50 years ago.

[Kevin T. Kerns @KevinTKerns]

I can’t imagine how Trump stumbled onto that idea.

[Gavin Newsom @GavinNewsom]

Today, my wife & I joined Donald Trump’s hit list. He has directed his Department of Justice to investigate us. They have not found a crime - they are simply trying to find one.

He isn't coming after me because of mean tweets, but because I am considering running for President.

He hates that I consistently call him out. He is simply the most corrupt President in American history.

We have nothing to hide. 

Mr. President, come after me. I am not going anywhere. 

The country is watching.

[Kevin T. Kerns @KevinTKerns]

@Joeinblack Foreman beat joe Frazier on that date.

[Kevin T. Kerns @KevinTKerns]

Let me guess. Your $30 million net worth is the sweet spot ?

[Governor Gavin Newsom @CAgovernor]

This is not sustainable.

Plutarch warned us 2,000 years ago that the imbalance between rich and poor is the oldest and most fatal ailment of all republics.

We have got to democratize our economy so that it works for all.

@jjones9 Wasn’t charged. No witnesses. No video. They have not used his name to avoid a problem if it unravels. Presumably they found the employee to be credible based on circumstances but that’s not overwhelming.
