Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y., launched a profanity-laced tirade in the hallways of a Capitol office building after being accosted by an anti-Israel protester.
The hallways of the Longworth House Office Building, which connects to the U.S. Capitol, descended into chaos Friday when Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y., launched a profanity-laced tirade against an anti-Israel protester who accosted him while he was holding a baby. 'The fact that we have terrorism sympathizers in this building is unacceptable. They should not be allowed in here. What is happening is Israel is abhorrent. That's what it is.
Reporters continued to press Santos to explain what happened, to which he stopped walking and said: 'The gentleman back there is a terrorist sympathizer that has no business in this building.' 'What is happening in Israel is abhorrent. What is happening to the people of Israel should not be defended. Nobody defending Hamas has any business in his building whether you're elected, whether you're a civilian.
He accused me of being in his personal space, so I took a step back, He was holding a child in his arms and saying that it was inappropriate of me to ask him questions in that scenario. I continued to ask him those questions. He refused to respond,' Singh said. 'He then found me here in this hallway and accosted me and began yelling at me, essentially framing what I am saying as some sort of anti-Semitic trope,' he added.
Singh was then detained by Capitol Police. Santos declined to share the identity of the baby for privacy reasons. Fox News' Chad Pergram contributed reporting.
