A far-right lawmaker in the Polish parliament uses a fire extinguisher to put out the candles on a menorah that was lit for Hanukkah.
Poseł Ekskrement Grzegorz Braun znów zrobił z siebie debila.
Najpierw wynosił z sądu choinki. Dziś w Sejmie zgasił gaśnicą menorę chanukową.
Ten idiota jest niebezpieczny… Mam nadzieję, że nowy rząd dobierze mu się do dupy… pic.twitter.com/i1IXmXPuFh

The speaker of the parliament, Szymon Holownia, denounces the incident carried out by Grzegorz Braun, and says there will be no tolerance for antisemitic and xenophobic behavior in the Sejm, the Polish parliament.
Braun in the past has falsely claimed that there is a plot to turn Poland into a “Jewish state.”
