Mideast Crisis protests Pat Ryan town hall in Poughkeepsie

United States Representative held a town hall in Poughkeepsie on Wednesday and was met with 800 angry constituents. Along with many complaints about recent Trump policies attacking Social Security, veteran’s health care and education, Mideast Crisis, a mid-hudson group that opposes the occupation and genocide in Gaza, disrupted the meeting, along with others, in protest of the bipartisan support of Israel’s ongoing campaign. Hudson Mohawk Magazine’s Moses Nagel spoke with Fred Nagel (no relation) who was present at the town hall and took part in the protest.
