Disruptive left-wing activists have Uyghur 'blood' on their hands, Sen. Hawley says: 'China-funded liars and racists'
Following a recent Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on stemming the rise in hate crimes and anti-Semitism in the country, Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) was surrounded by members of Code Pink, a left-wing activist group.
According to the organization's website, it is an anti-war, "women-led grassroots" group founded in 2002.
'You've got blood on your hands from the Uyghurs, every single one of you.'
A video shared by the Daily Caller News Foundation captured members of the organization gathering around Hawley as he left the hearing on Tuesday.
Hawley slammed the activists for the group's ties to the Chinese Communist Party.
"You are funded by Chinese money," he told them.
One protester asked, "Who funds you?"
"Not China," Hawley remarked.
"AIPAC [American Israel Public Affairs Committee]? Pro-Israeli lobby groups?" the protester continued.
"There we go, there's the anti-Semitism," Hawley responded.
"You are funded by Chinese money," the senator continued. "You've got blood on your hands from the Uyghurs, every single one of you."
Hawley called the protesters a "disgrace."
"It's a privilege to be protested by you terrible people," he added. "You're China-funded liars and racists, and it's a privilege to stand against you."
Earlier this year, the same group confronted Hawley while they rallied to call for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war.
In response to the confrontation, the senator told Fox News, "Code Pink are paid-for protesters funded by the Chinese Communist Party. Their money comes from China. It's laundered through a bunch of dark money groups, and then it goes to Code Pink."
"These are people that can't even admit that the Uyghurs are in internment camps, concentration camps, and yet they say that Israel is a terrorist state? Give me a break," Hawley said, calling the activists "astroturf wackos."
An oversight investigation conducted by the House Committee on Natural Resources last year claimed that Code Pink has ties to the CCP.
"On August 5, 2023, the New York Times reported that Code Pink 'is part of a lavishly funded influence campaign' that 'works closely with the Chinese government media machine' to promote the agenda of the CCP. Code Pink is purportedly funded by Neville Roy Singham, a self-proclaimed socialist and current 'benefactor of far-left causes,' who is now based in Shanghai, China. Photos show Mr. Singham regularly meeting with officials from the CCP, including at CCP propaganda forums," a House committee letter read.
Code Pink did not respond to Blaze News' request for comment.

80-year-old congresswoman puts on masterclass when left-wing activists ambush her: 'Don't even think about it'
Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-N.C.) has no patience for left-wing activists.
Code Pink activists descended on Capitol Hill this week to "demand an end to the genocide in Gaza and advocate for a free Palestine." The far-left organization is "committed to supporting Palestinian liberation," endorses the anti-Israel BDS movement, supports "Palestinians’ right to resist" Israel, and believes only Palestinians are the "rightful owners and caretakers of Palestine."
"Off the elevator! I have work to do!"
On Wednesday, activists tried to ambush Foxx, chairwoman of the House Education Committee, but it didn't go so well.
"Don’t even think about it, I’ve got things to do," Foxx told multiple Code Pink activists who tried confronting her on Capitol Hill.
The organization accused Foxx of "harassing students who only want to stop a genocide" — as if that's the only thing anti-Israel students have done on college campuses — and one of the activists chided Foxx for believing that anti-Semitism is a problem. That activist claimed "anti-Islamophobia" is the real issue.
Another activist then tried to enter an elevator reserved only for members of Congress.
"You’re not welcome on this elevator. It's a members only," Foxx told the activist.
But the activist did not comply and initially refused to exit the elevator.
"Why are you destroying the lives of so many young people on campuses?" one activist asked Foxx. Another one confronted, "Why are you attacking children and teachers who are just trying to speak up for Palestinians?"
But Foxx was not interested in playing their games.
"Off the elevator! I have work to do!" Foxx told the activist, then calling for Capitol Police to remove the activist.

Rep. Brian Mast (R-Fla.) also gave the Code Pink activists a spectacular response.
On Wednesday, an activist asked Mast if he believes Israel should agree to the one-sided ceasefire agreement that Hamas has signed. Israel did not sign it because it was "very far from Israel’s core demands," according to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Mast, likewise, made it clear that he opposes the agreement.
"I think Israel should go in there and kick the s*** out of [Hamas], just absolutely destroy them, their infrastructure, level anything that they touch. Clear enough?" Mast said.

Josh Hawley coolly handles raving Code Pink radicals and calls out their support for terrorism
Sen. Josh Hawley was mobbed this week by members of the leftist group Code Pink — so-called feminists evidently rankled by the Missouri Republican's ongoing support for Israel. Hawley responded with an unflinching condemnation of terrorism that not only drove the radicals raving mad but prompted them to show their cards.
The incident unfolded Wednesday afternoon in the Senate Hart building — the same building where Maryland Democratic Sen. Ben Cardin's former staffer filmed himself engaging in sodomy without legal consequence.
A rabble of Code Pink leftists protesting Israel's war on Islamic terrorism were camped out in the hall, yelling at various lawmakers as they made their way over to vote on potential aid for Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan. When came Hawley's turn down the hall, a woman wearing a Palestinian keffiyeh snapped her fingers in Hawley's face, saying, "Don't give us your talking points."
In one video of the incident, another protester can be seen attempting to lower the snapping hand of the woman in the keffiyeh. However, she proceeds to wag a finger at Hawley, saying, "You are unbelievable."
Hawley responds, "The state of Israel has a right to defend itself."
One Code Pink protester, ostensibly the group's co-founder Medea Benjamin, chimes in, "So does Palestine!"
The woman in the Palestinian scarf counters that Israel's self-defense is "not defense."
"And I won't call for a ceasefire until Hamas is eliminated," continues Hawley.
The senator's invocation of the terrorist group prickles the woman in the keffiyeh, who leans over with widened eyes to say, "Hamas will never be eliminated."
"Eliminated!" Hawley adds.
As the protester feverishly yells out after Hawley, calling him "foolish," Hawley sets her straight: "You're an anti-Semite. ... If you guys had your way, there'd be a second Holocaust. That's what you want. Pro-terrorist."

In another video of the exchange, Hawley can be heard saying to the Code Pink protesters, "I wish I had an Israel flag to wave."
Code Pink has long campaigned against Israel and supported so-called Palestinian liberation. The so-called feminist group appears keen to overlook the barbaric treatment of women, girls, and non-straights in Gaza and the West Bank, just as it has glossed over the crimes committed against humanity by the communist regime in Beijing — which Code Pink stresses "is not our enemy."
Code Pink has made explicit its support for Palestinian violence against Israel and refers to the Oct. 7 terror attacks, which left thousands of Israelis and dozens of Americans dead and thousands more wounded, as "resistance."
The group states on its website that the Hamas terror attacks "must be understood in the context of resistance to a 75-year Israeli occupation, in which a Jewish state was violently established on stolen Palestinian land."
According to Code Pink, "Israel cannot 'defend' itself.
"Israel's use of violence only enforces an oppressive occupation. Conversely, Palestinians resisting their oppression act defensively, as they have been victims of offensive attacks by Israel since its illegitimate inception in 1948," says the group's website.
In recent weeks, Code Pink has called on the Biden administration to restore funding to the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees despite clear indications that 12 UNWRA employees participated in the October attacks.
Hawley is apparently not the only senator the pro-terrorism group heckled this week. They also mobbed Sens. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), Ted Cruz (R-Texas), John Fetterman (D-Pa.), John Kennedy (R-La.), and others.
Cruz and Rubio responded especially forcefully.
Cruz said, "So why are you not troubled with Hamas terrorists? ... Killing Hamas makes Israel safe."
When the Code Pink protesters pressed Rubio on the deaths of children in Gaza, the Florida senator replied, "Hamas is responsible for killing all those children. ... Hamas kills children. Hamas is an evil organization. I hope Israel destroys Hamas. That's what I hope and I wanna help Israel destroy Hamas."
