Governor Polis Faces Confrontation from Pro-Palestine Activists at Public Event
Governor Jared Polis was recently shouted down while giving a public interview at the Axios Denver Power Players event, where he was interrupted and confronted by a small group of pro-Palestine activists.
Through their shouts, these activists accused the governor of supporting Israel's actions against Palestinians and made outrageous claims about the Israeli government.
The protestors, displaying a clear ignorance, went as far as accusing Governor Polis of having "blood on his hands" and suggesting that Israel is engaging in "genocide" and "ethnic cleansing" of Palestinians for the past 120 years. Such baseless and inflammatory statements only serve to perpetuate misinformation and further escalate tensions.
One protestor even insinuating that Governor Polis's loyalty should lie with Tel Aviv rather than Colorado.
Security personnel were forced to intervene and escort the protestors out of the event as they continued to shout unfounded accusations and condemnations at Governor Polis.
