More from the Hill:
Protestors from a progressive Jewish activist group interrupted President Trump’s speech at the Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC).
“Jews are here to say occupation is a plague. Jews are here to say white nationalism is a plague,” the protesters said, according to a statement from the progressive Jewish organization IfNotNow.
Their protests were quickly drowned out by RJC participants who booed them and then chanted “USA” and “Four more years.”
“He’s going back home to mommy, and he will be reprimanded,” Trump said, apparently referring to one of the protesters.
According to its website, IfNotNow said the 10 protesters were members of the group, which works to end the Jewish community’s “support for the occupation.”
Here’s the video they posted on Facebook:
