White House officials expressed confidence in the Secret Service’s abilities to protect President Trump hours before rowdy protesters stood just a few feet away from Trump, Vice President JD Vance, and Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, screaming “Free D.C.! Free Palestine! Trump is the Hitler of our time!” The outburst occurred Tuesday night inside Joe’s Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab, a swanky D.C. restaurant a block and a half from the White House.
The pro-Hamas far-left Code Pink demonstrators held Palestinian flags and unfurled smaller banners disrupting Trump’s and his entourage’s arrival for the president’s first dining out experience in a D.C. restaurant since his second term began in January. Trump was captured on video, visibly angry, asking for protesters to be removed from the restaurant.
“C’mon, c’mon,” the president said, waving his hand. An unidentified male voice is then heard prodding the protesters, “Let’s go, let’s go.”
Among those who accompanied POTUS to the restaurant: White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, presidential press secretary Karoline Leavitt, and top White House aides Dan Scavino, Stephen Miller, James Blair, and James Braid.
