An individual dressed as a firefighter verbally confronted a pro-Palestinian protester near the 9/11 memorial in New York City, calling them “anti-American” and telling them to leave along with certain political figures including a former president.
The New York City Fire Department stated that the person in uniform was not and has never been a member of the FDNY, suggesting they are from another fire department.
The confrontation occurred on the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks, coinciding with official memorial ceremonies attended by former presidents and New York officials.
Turning Point USA posted the video of the incident, noting that frustration from 9/11 memorial attendees near Ground Zero was increasing due to the protester's presence.
