Video Dem CA State Rep. heckled by his own party at San Francisco Pride event
Scott Wiener said he was forced to leave San Francisco's Trans March at Dolores Park on Friday after demonstrators confronted him over Israel and Gaza, in a viral episode that unfolded as Pride Weekend began.
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!California state Sen. Scott Wiener, D-San Francisco, was widely mocked by conservatives on social media over two videos of him being shouted down by anti-Israel activists in his own district over his stance on Israel, despite his progressive track record.
The first video showed several people surrounding Wiener, running for Congress to replace Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi, as he walked through San Francisco's Trans March at Dolores Park on Friday, with multiple hecklers shouting profanity-laced insults.
"We f---ing hate you!" Wiener was told in the video that was viewed over 11 million times on X, posted by Dimitry Yakoushkin, who could be heard criticizing Wiener’s position on the war in Gaza as the Democratic lawmaker moved away from the crowd.
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.

"No one more richly deserves this humiliation than Scott Wiener, who learns the hard lesson that you can be a militant for trans radicalism, a full-scale Israel-hater, and an all-around moral derelict...and the hard Left will still yell at you for being a Jew," conservative commentator Ben Shapiro posted on X. "10/10, no notes."
"Hey, Wiener guy!" Reality TV star and former Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt posted on X. "Remember when you called me a ‘McBigot’? 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!"
"I have zero sympathy for eat me last Democrats like Wiener who enabled anti-white bigotry to fester, threw open our borders to foreigners with alien ideologies, and poured gasoline on the dumpster fire of the trans contagion and LGBTQ insanity," Charlie Kirk Show executive producer Andrew Kolvet posted on X.
Video"The left deserves itself," political commentator Tim Pool posted on X.
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.

"For the Jews thinking you can play footsie with these people… they just hate you because you’re a Jew," XX-XY Athletics founder and CEO Jennifer Sey, posted on X. "That’s it. That’s what it comes down to. Wiener is Jewish. Never bend a knee. It won’t go well."
"Once they’re done with Zionism, they’ll come after democracy, capitalism, and the foundation of Western society and government," Hussain Abdul-Hussain, research fellow at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, posted on X.
"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."

"You can see the fear in his eyes, and while I have little in common with him, there is something relatable about this moment," California Post opinion editor Joel Pollak posted on X. "It's no real consolation to point out that he tried appeasing the hatred (letting the rest of us be victimized). This is what we look like before the end."
Wiener’s office released a lengthy statement about the two incidents, posting online that Wiener was "harassed, threatened, and physically intimidated while attending public events to engage with the San Francisco community."
"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."
Wiener, who had previously stopped short of using the word "genocide," reversed course in January and said he believed Israel’s actions in Gaza qualified as genocide. The California Post editorial board commented on the shift in a recent piece ,saying, "The irony: It wasn’t enough," the outlet wrote. "Nothing is ever enough. Wiener remains a target, even though he changed his mind, because he is Jewish."

On Monday, June 29, Wimbledon got underway in dramatic fashion at The All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club.
Defending men’s champion Jannik Sinner of Italy barely took down No. 50 Miomir Kecmanović, defeating the Serb in five sets. Mid-match, the world No. 1 tripped, crumpled to the ground mid-rally and later saw his foot get bloodied.
Meanwhile, women’s No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka had better luck against a Serbian underdog, besting Teodora Kostovic 6-2, 6-3.
And that was just day one.
If you’d like to be at the world-famous grassy London courts, last-minute all-day passes are still available for all upcoming dates of the iconic tourney.
At the time of publication, the lowest price we could find on passes was $2,115 including fees on SeatGeek (that’s for Thursday, July 9, by the way).
Other dates have passes starting anywhere from $2,729 to $13,985 including fees.
Make sure to use promo code NYPOST10 for $10 off purchases over $250 at checkout (Editor’s Note: this discount is only valid for users’ first purchase on SeatGeek).
In addition to Sinner and Sabalenka, notable players also set to take the grass by storm over the next two weeks include seven-time Wimbledon champ Novak Djokovic, Roland Garros victor Alexander Zverev, World No. 2 Elena Rybakina, 2025 winner Iga Świątek and fan-favorite Coc Gauff.
Plus, Serena Williams will be on the grounds playing singles as well.
Fans that have never attended are in for a literal treat, too.
“Pimms and strawberries and cream are an integral part of the Wimbledon experience – 200,000 punnets of strawberries are served during the Championships,” On The Luce reports.
“There are lots of other eating options though, ranging from takeaway cafés to sit-down restaurants and Champagne bars.”

About Wimbledon 2026
One of this year’s biggest storylines at Wimbledon are all the players not taking part in the tournament.
Sadly, Carlos Alcaraz will be sitting due to a wrist injury he suffered at the Barcelona Open this spring. Biggies Marketa Vondrousova, Emma Raducanu and Jack Draper have also withdrawn.
On a lighter note, as noted above, 44-year-old Serena Williams is competing in a singles match at Wimbledon for the first time since 2022. All eyes will be on her for her match with 20-year-old Australian Maya Joint on June 30.
Players will also be getting paid more than ever before. Ahead of this year’s Wimbledon, a 20% prize pool increase was implemented. Other upgrades at the tourney include a video review system for controversial line calls and new-and-improved heat stress rules.
Wimbledon fashion 2026
Off the court, trendsetters will be serving looks in the stands.
Just a few of the biggest attention-grabbers this year thus far include Naomi Osaka’s kimono-inspired fit, Bad Bunny’s low-key look, Judd Apatow and Leslie Mann’s simple yet elegant numbers, Isla Fisher’s flow-y dress and Sir David Beckham’s classy, single-breasted suit.
