Far-right Polish lawmaker puts out menorah with fire extinguisher

A far-right Polish lawmaker used a fire extinguisher to put out Hanukkah candles in the country’s parliament, leading the speaker to exclude him from the sitting and provoking outrage.

Footage posted on the website of private broadcaster TVN24 showed Grzegorz Braun of the Confederation take the extinguisher before walking across the lobby of the parliament to where the candles were, creating a white cloud and forcing security guards to rush people out of the area.

Speaker Szymon Holownia excluded him from the sitting and said he would inform prosecutors about his actions. #shorts
