Elias Rodriguez, 30, of Chicago allegedly walked up to Israeli Embassy Staff Members leaving an event at the Jewish Museum in DC and opened fire, killing them. Then he ran inside the building and asked the people inside to call police. The suspect was detained, but not before shouting “Free, Free Palestine.”
Katie Kalisher, who was at the museum Wednesday night, told “FOX & Friends” on Thursday that she had an interaction with Rodriguez prior to his arrest. She said Rodriguez – who looked distressed and was covered in rain – came into the facility after 10 to 15 gunshots were heard outside and asked for somebody to call the police.Â
“I’m like, ‘so, do you like this museum?’ And he’s like, kind of playing dumb with me. He’s like, ‘oh, what kind of museum is this?’ And I’m like ‘it’s a Jewish museum. He asks ‘Do you think that is why they did it?’ in reference to gunshots we had heard. And I was like, ‘yeah maybe, I don’t know but I don’t think so, I hope not,’” Kalisher said. “And that is when he reaches into his bag and pulls out a kaffiyeh and says to me, ‘I did it. I did this for Gaza.’ And then he starts shouting ‘Free, Free Palestine!’ and the police show up and arrest him.” Fox
Rodriguez is from Chicago and allegedly was part of an antisemitic, anarchist group according to an organization dedicated to elimination of antisemitism. His statement is that same as that which has been spouted across college campuses. It is used by people who do not care about what they spew. They are ignorant fools. But their hate has fueled death and destruction, just as the beliefs of terrorists fueled the massacre on October 7, 2023.

Murder is the go-to method of silencing opposition for leftist groups across the board. Delusional terrorists and crazies act off vicious rhetoric. Democrats should learn from this horrific crime. But it’s likely they won’t.
