FBI investigates Democratic National Convention attendees having MAGGOTS slipped into their breakfast

The FBI has launched an investigation into whether maggots were deliberately slipped into the breakfasts of delegates at the Democratic National Convention.

Law enforcement swarmed the Fairmont Hotel in downtown Chicago on Wednesday following reports of the insect attack.

Indiana delegate Tracy Boyd told WGNTV: 'They protected us, of course, and turned it around in minutes.'

She said her group was notified that breakfast service would be briefly delayed due to the incident by pro-Palestine activists.

Since the start of the DNC, pro-Palestine rioters have caused chaos on the streets of Chicago. Several have been arrested for breaching the security perimeter near the United Center and as protests got violent near the Israeli Consulate. 

'I really do want to give a shout-out to the hotel staff and leadership,' Boyd added.

All Americans have the right to peaceful protest, but ugly attacks like this have no place in our democracy,' said Indiana Democratic Party spokesperson Sam Barloga. 

'We thank the security team for responding swiftly,' he said. 

It's not the first maggot-related political incident in recent weeks. 

At the end of July, a Pro-Palestine activist group shared stomach-turning images of what they said was a protest against Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The Israeli leader addressed Congress amid the ongoing war in Gaza, which has sparked protests against the Jewish state all over the world.

Hours before his speech, the Palestinian Youth Movement's X account shared a video they claimed showed Netanyahu's table at the Watergate hotel in Washington DC full of maggots and critters.

The group wrote: 'BON APPETIT!! MAGGOTS RELEASED ON THE CRIMINAL ZIONIST'S WAR TABLE!

'Palestine protestors manufactured chaos at the Watergate Hotel last night so that Netanyahu, Israeli Mossad agents, and the Secret Service had no peace as they continue to terrorize our people.'

Jewish Insider claimed that several people in Netanyahu's team were not aware of any protest involving maggots.

Jewish Insider reporter Lahav Harkov said: 'I talked to several people in Netanyahu’s delegation who know nothing about this, so either the Palestinian Youth Movement is lying or somehow security managed to clean this up and stop the fire alarms incredibly quickly.'

CNN reported that the Secret Service was investigating the reports that protesters gained access to the hotel where the Israeli delegation is staying.

During his speech, Netanyahu spoke about the importance of the U.S.-Israel relationship, highlighting how the two's close ties have been instrumental in the Jewish nation's fight against Palestinian terror group Hamas.

'America and Israel must stand together,' Netanyahu proclaimed, receiving a standing ovation in response.

'When we stand together, something very simple happens, we win and they lose.'

The leader has vowed to continue the war until Hamas is eradicated following the October 7, 2023 massacre in Israel by the terrorist who raped women, killed and beheaded children and took hundreds of Israelis hostage, including several Americans.

While Netanyahu was in D.C., protesters condemning the war in Gaza descended on Washington, chanting 'Free, Free Palestine' as some tried to block streets. 

Protestors vandalized parts of Union Station, a short walk to the Capitol. 

The American flag was taken off of a flag pole outside of the main train terminal.
