California Congressional candidate Scott Wiener, who is Jewish, was chased out of a transgender community march in San Francisco on Friday, in the second instance of anti-Israel harassment against Wiener this week.

The incidents came amid increasing concern about antisemitism in left-wing politics in the US and a slew of incidents targeting Jews on the left.

Wiener, who is gay, is a state senator and a longtime supporter of the LGBTQ community who has passed pro-transgender legislation in the state government.

He is one of the most prominent Jewish politicians in California state politics and is among the leading candidates in the race to replace former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who is retiring.

Video posted by a local activist showed an anti-Israel crowd accosting Wiener at the transgender community parade in San Francisco’s Dolores Park.

In the footage, the activist approaches Wiener and compliments his past legislation in support of the LGBTQ community, as other activists begin shouting, calling Wiener a “genocidal piece of shit.”

The activist filming the video then shouts, “I think your policy on the genocide in Gaza is terrible. I think you do not belong here.

Other attendees follow Wiener, repeatedly shouting, “We fucking hate you,” and holding their middle fingers up to Wiener’s face.

Scott Wiener showed up to the trans march and for the first time we kicked his ass out. It's sad because while he's written some good legislation for queers, hes ultimately a genocidal-supporting center right shill. Trigger warning: broken man walking away defeated.

“You’ve been wonderful on trans people and you’ve been terrible on Gaza. You do not belong here anymore, Scott,” shouts the activist who is filming. “Do you have anything to say about Gaza? How could you do this to San Francisco?

“Say something. Redeem yourself,” he shouts. “You’re a piece of shit on Gaza.........
