Representative Ritchie Torres was heckled by a man wearing a t-shirt with a Palestinian flag on it while at the Jerusalem_Post Conference on Monday.
He was later dragged out by security.
Torres responded: ‘I just want to tell the next disruptor, I am a Zionist … harassment, bullying or intimidation won’t stop me."
