Lauren Boebert Tries to Remove Palestinian Flag From Statue at Protest

Republican Congresswoman Lauren Boebert tussled with protesters and attempted to remove a flag of Palestine from a statue during a contentious visit to George Washington University (GWU).

Greene and a delegation of her House GOP colleagues arrived at the Washington, D.C. campus on Wednesday to demand that students and other pro-Palestinian protesters demonstrating against Israel’s attack on Gaza dismantle their encampment over allegations of antisemitism.

In videos shared on social media, Boebert is captured attempting to remove a Palestinian flag that had been draped over a statue of George Washington, telling the protesters that they were infringing on “private property.”

A person identifying themselves as a faculty member then reminded Boebert that the statue was not her property, seemingly prompting the congresswoman to walk away while still demanding that the flag be taken down.

This is a developing story and will be updated as more information becomes available.
