Pro-Hamas Protestors Vandalize Congressman’s Office for a Second Time.

Pro-Hamas protestors have vandalized the district office of a New York Congressman for the second time in a matter of weeks. The Manhattan office of Representative Adriano Espaillat (D-NY) had its windows and facade covered in red paint, and the glass in its front door broken. “Free Gaza” graffiti was spray painted on the sidewalk in front of the Democrat Congressman’s office.

Rep. Espaillat has been an outspoken advocate in Congress for the return of the hostages taken from Israel by Hamas during the Islamic terror group’s barbaric October 7, 2023 attacks against the Jewish state. As anti-Israel and pro-Hamas protests have broken out across New York City over the past several nights, the Congressman’s office has become one of several focal points for the pro-Hamas activists as its windows feature posters of the remaining hostages being held by the terrorist group.

OCTOBER 7.

Yesterday, the New York Democrat joined other state and national lawmakers for a memorial service in Central Park, marking the one-year anniversary of the October 7 Hamas attacks. Several lawmakers who attended the event have subsequently been targeted on social media by accounts like AIPAC Tracker, which claims: “Adriano Espaillat has blood on his hands.”

The National Pulse reported in April that Espaillat, a vocal advocate for the Biden-Harris government’s open border policies, first came to the United States from the Dominican Republic as an illegal alien with his parents, overstaying tourist visas and living in the country illegally for around a year before securing a green card.

Following President Donald J. Trump’s visit to a Harlem bodega, Espaillat attacked the Republican presidential nominee on X (formerly Twitter), claiming Trump had no business in his district. However, photos from the event show residents flocking to the corner store to see the Republican candidate.

REVEALED: U.S. Congressman Who Blasted Trump’s Bodega Visit Entered America Illegally.

Rep. Adriano Espaillat (D-NY) first came to the United States from the Dominican Republic as an illegal alien with his parents, overstaying tourist visas and living in the country illegally for around a year before securing a green card. This fact was noted by The National Pulse’s editor-in-chief, Raheem Kassam, in a post on X (formerly Twitter) earlier on Wednesday. The progressive New York Democrat attacked Donald Trump in a social media post on Tuesday over the former President’s visit to a Harlem bodega — a neighborhood in Espaillat’s district.

“Donald Trump didn’t do his homework. My district is progressive and my constituents are honest hard working New Yorkers who don’t have time for Trump’s division, hate, and chaos,” Espaillat, the first former illegal alien to serve in Congress, said. He added: “Trump has no place in my district.”

Despite the claims by the pro-open borders Democratic lawmaker, residents of Harlem flocked to the bodega location — cheering on Trump. The former President had spent much of Tuesday confined to a Manhattan courtroom where he faces prosecution by District Attorney Alvin Bragg over spurious allegations in the Stormy Daniels ‘hush money’ trial. Harlem residents chanted “Four More Years!” among other political slogans.

On Wednesday, the Bodega and Small Business Group (BSBG), which represents thousands of bodegas in New York City, issued a statement backing former President Trump, slamming local District Attorney Alvin Bragg, and criticizing local politicians who have ignored the widespread criminality in the city. BSBG’s president, Fransisco Marte, said Trump’s visit “highlights just how much we have lost the way in New York,” adding that he hoped the president’s “support for stronger laws and enforcement will spur our own elected officials to action.”
