SCRANTON, LACKAWANNA CO. (WOLF) — A group of protestors disrupted Thursday night’s Scranton mayoral debate.
While incumbent Mayor Paige Cognetti answered a question regarding crime in the city, the group of three protestors stood up, sharing remarks in support of Palestine and questioning the mayor on funding sent to Israel.
Moderators asked the protestors to return order to the debate.
Two exited without assistance, while a member of the University of Scranton police escorted out the third.
Mayor Cognetti did not answer questions from the protestors and returned to her answer to the original question from the moderators.
