A firefighter in New York City<\/a> called out a pro-Palestinian agitator wearing an Elmo costume with a Palestinian flag as “anti-American” Friday, not far from where the city\u2019s 9\/11 memorial ceremony was taking place at Ground Zero, according to video shot by Turning Point USA (TPUSA) and posted to X.<\/p>\n

“F—— anti-American motherf—–. Go back to f—— Palestine. We don\u2019t want you here,” the man yelled to the protester. It was unclear if he was a current or retired firefighter.<\/p>\n

The man told the protester to also take former President Barack Obama, NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani, Gov. Kathy Hochul and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez with them.<\/p>\n

“Take \u2018em all. They\u2019re all no f—–g good!” he yelled. “You\u2019re no f—–g good.”<\/p>\n

After the firefighter walked away from the agitator, someone yelled in the video, “The Jews are committing a genocide.”<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t clear if it was one of the protesters who yelled it.<\/p>\n

“Frustration from Americans attending the 9\/11 memorial service a few blocks away is spilling over,” TPUSA\u2019s X post said.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital has reached out to TPUSA for comment.<\/p>\n

The FDNY told Fox News Digital: “We are aware of the video circulating of someone wearing a uniform having a verbal altercation today. This person appears to be from another fire department and is not and has never been a member of the FDNY.”<\/p>\n

Friday marked 25 years since the Sept. 11, 2001,<\/a> terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City; the Pentagon in Washington, D.C.; and in Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n

Mamdani, Hochul, and Ocasio-Cortez were also in attendance.<\/p>\n
