Dem running for Pelosi's seat mocked after anti-Israel hecklers chase him from SF Trans March

Conservatives on social media widely mocked Wiener and pointed to the fact that he is considered one of the most progressive Democrats in the country and yet was still attacked by his own constituency for not being critical enough of Israel.

Wiener, who is gay and Jewish, was also the target of a second incident last Wednesday that went viral, when he was harassed at a San Francisco bar over Israel as he attempted to watch a World Cup game.

"Palestine is the tip of the iceberg. The iceberg is 'Islam is the solution,' the alternative to Enlightenment ideas, as imagined by Muslim Brotherhood ideology."

"I have no objection whatsoever to anyone disagreeing with me, opposing me, or protesting me," Wiener said in the statement. "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."
