CNN’s Dana Bash was confronted by pro-Palestinian protesters at a Washington D.C. event on Thursday evening as she was promoting her new book America’s Deadliest Election .

At the Politics and Prose bookstore, Bash was joined by Kara Swisher and was eventually accused of everything from being a “killer” to taking “millions from Zionists” to tell lies on air.

“After World War II, every single journalist that was complicit in their war crimes was charged. You belong behind bars!” a woman wearing a mask told Bash.

The woman claimed there has “never been a war” and called Israel’s strikes on Gaza “ethnic cleansing.” She called Bash, who is Jewish, “complicit” in this genocide.

“I came here to ask her why she’s telling lies on public air every single day,” the woman said.

In edited footage posted to social media, the woman does not mention any specific lies or reports from Bash she has issues with.

“Every time she lies, a neighborhood in Gaza dies. She is killing people,” the woman said, adding, “You are a killer!”

Bash remained calm during the encounters. Both women wore masks and a member of the audience could be heard telling them to remove them.

A second protester also interrupted the event, accusing Bash of taking “millions from Zionists” to report on Israel’s war with Hamas falsely . This protester was slightly more specific, accusing Bash of not covering civilian deaths in Gaza enough and unfairly reporting on college campus protests against Israel.

“My friends have been dying in Gaza, and you have not been reporting it. You call yourself a good journalist? Report the truth!” she said.

Bash’s book , written with David Fisher , does not touch on Israel. It is an examination of the violence connected to the election of 1872.
