More Than 100 Hamas Groupies Violently Storm DNC, House Offices Locked Down

On Tuesday, almost 300,000 people came out in support of Israel and on behalf of the hostages being held by the Hamas terrorists. The people prayed and sang the National Anthem. 

That stood in sharp contrast to the radical leftist-influenced protests and riots that have had violence, even desecrating the White House and involving a man being killed in Thousand Oaks, CA. 

On Wednesday, there was more of that craziness in Washington, D.C., as about 150 leftists stormed the DNC Headquarters trying to get into the building. 

They were chanting, "Let Gaza live." They claimed that someone was thrown down the stairs. They of course don't care that what they're doing is the worst thing for the people of Gaza, who would actually be the people most to benefit from getting rid of Hamas. 

You can see one of the people throwing a fit at police and some of them screaming in the background in a video on X. The activist slammed the police.

'We're outside the Democratic Party headquarters because this party claims to be on the side of life and peace and equality and we're saying we want them to live up to their values and call for a ceasefire in this horrific war,' she says.

'We are being responded to by police shoving anti-war activists down the stairs, shoving peaceful protests back with their bikes.'

Both the Metro Police Department and the Capitol Police were on the scene trying to stop protesters from getting into the building, but they were battling back and it was getting rough. 

There were many arrests reported as the police struggled with so many rioters.

Metro Poli issued a statement: 

A statement said: 'Right now our officers are working to keep back approximately 150 people who are illegally and violently protesting in the area of Canal Street and Ivy Street, SE. 

'Officers are making arrests. All Members have been evacuated from the area. Please stay away from the area.'

All U.S. House buildings were also locked down as a result of the violence.

The Capitol Police are breaking out the riot gear and responding with pepper spray.

It's interesting that, finally, you see police coming out to stop and deal with these radicals. I guess that it's ok when people desecrate the White House but the DNC is off-limits. But I find it more than a little ironic that the Democrats have whipped up the far left on identity politics and the oppressor/oppressed binary, and now it appears to be coming back to land literally on their doorstep. 

Chances that we'll hear anything about insurrection or any of these guys getting any serious consequences from this? I wouldn't bet on it, but they're trying to test that double standard.
