Protesters interrupt Zeldin for governor rally in Brentwood
A rally was held at a closed Checkers drive-thru in Brentwood Sunday in support of Rep. Lee Zeldin for governor. A large crowd of anti-Zeldin protesters also showed up.
There were 12 Zeldin supporters at the rally, including staffers and event speakers. Zeldin was slated to speak at the rally but did not attend.
There were more than 50 protesters who showed up, chanting "No-show Lee" and "Zeldin is a coward."
Protesters focused on Zeldin's opposition to gun control in the wake of the Texas school shooting along with his record of anti-immigrant rhetoric.
