NJ political boss George Norcross, who was friends with Pelosi and a member of Mar-a-Lago, is kicked out of Philly football suite for flying Israel-America flag as security yanks down the banner while leading him from the stadium
2023-11-07
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • George Norcross, 67, was called as recently as 2023 New Jersey's 'most powerful unelected individual'

  • Norcross was kicked out of Sunday's Philadelphia Eagles game against the Dallas Cowboys for flying a half-American/half-Israeli flag outside his suite

Earlier in the day, on a televised pre-game show, former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie stood for an interview with a reporter where the same flag was displayed prominently in the background.

According to New Jersey Globe reporter David Wildstein, it may have come from Norcross himself, as he frequently hosts a tailgate prior to Philadelphia Eagles games.

Lincoln Financial Field, where the Eagles play, has no specific policy against the flag but does have rules regarding signs and banners.

'Signs, banners or similar items that are obscene or indecent, not event-related, potentially offensive to other patrons, capable of blocking the views of other fans or otherwise deemed dangerous or inappropriate by the Eagles are prohibited,' their 2014 guidelines state.

'Lincoln Financial Field reserves the right to confiscate signs that are in violation of stadium policy.'

Only America's top flight soccer league, Major League Soccer, has reacted to the shock Hamas attack that killed 1,400 Israelis on October 7 with a policy specific to Israeli and Palestinian flags.

The league changed its fan code of conduct to temporarily ban 'flags representing a country or nationality at MLS matches.'

Norcross has recently stepped back from throwing his political weight around after decades as an organizer, fundraiser and activist for Democratic Party politics.

The New York Times notes, however, that he often 'blurred the lines' between Democrats and Republicans, with a close friendship with former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and a membership to Mar-a-Lago.

His family's support for Israel was made clear when brother Donald Norcross, a Democrat and member of the House of Representatives, went with a Congressional delegation to Tel Aviv just three days after the October 7 attack.

#2  “Kill those kids!“

“wanna kill all you little crackers!!!”

“Bunch of little faggots w/your white priviliges“

“I hope I have a high death count”

"I'm ready...I hope my victims aren't."

This is just like Hamas in Gaza, it's what happens when you teach children to hate.
