Sharpton accuses pro-Palestinian demonstrators of cowardice for interrupting Jeffries at NYC convention
ShareMake your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2024.The Rev. Al Sharpton decried a group of demonstrators protesting Israel’s offensive in Gaza after they shouted down House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries during a Saturday morning speech at the National Action Network convention.
The ongoing war in Gaza has riven both state and national Democrats. The party has a history of supporting Israel, but its left flank has held unceasing protests over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Jeffries, who is in line to be the next Democratic House speaker, has had the backing of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee for years. He released a statement this week supporting Biden's call for a "negotiated resolution" to the conflict that "lays a foundation for a just and lasting peace between Israel and the Palestinian people."
Jeffries has defended progressive members of his caucus with deeply critical views of the Israel-Hamas war,who faces a serious primary threat from AIPAC-backed Westchester County Executive George Latimer.
