Council member singled out by hateful commenter apologizes that living in a free country means enduring ‘awful and heinous comments.’
A screenshot from Walnut Creek city council’s YouTube broadcast on Tuesday, Feb. 20, 2024 showing a man who delivered a hateful, anti-Jewish diatribe during the public comment period at the council’s meeting in Walnut Creek, California. A man wearing swastikas on his t-shirt and around his neck took to the public-comment microphone at Walnut Creek’s City Council meeting Tuesday evening and delivered an anti-Jewish diatribe that shocked officials into a brief silence.
The man expressed discontent with the city’s October decision to shut down Zoom comments on video transmissions of city meetings, a move that followed months of anti-Semitic harassment, much of it directed Wilk. The “Zoom-bombing” abuse came amid“We cut off Zoom in October, because he regularly would call in hate fashion,” Wilk said. “Zoom is not a First Amendment right.
On Wednesday, Wilk added: “It’s hard to believe that people live with that kind of hate in their hearts. The reason they stay in the shadows — and you saw that he had a hat, sunglasses and gave a pseudonym — is that they know they’re going to be ostracized by their families, lose their jobs, and have all the other things that happen when you show you hate. There’s a reason people like that are in the dark.
