On Wednesday, an unsettling incident occurred at the Fairmont Hotel in Chicago, where delegates attending the Democratic National Convention (DNC) were subjected to an unexpected and revolting disruption.

According to WGN9, a group of unidentified activists infiltrated the breakfast event, dumping maggots onto the food prepared for DNC attendees.

The incident took place at the Fairmont Hotel, which is hosting state delegates from Indiana, Minnesota, Ohio, Missouri, and South Dakota. The Chicago Police Department, Illinois State Police, and the FBI quickly responded to the scene to address the situation and investigate the incident.

Haley Robles, a spokesperson for the Fairmont Chicago, confirmed the occurrence and assured that the hotel staff acted promptly to manage the situation. “We can confirm that a group of individuals caused a disruption at a DNC-related breakfast event at our hotel this morning,” Robles stated. “Our team acted immediately to clean and sanitize the area, ensuring that the event could continue without further incident.”

Reports indicate that an FBI van was observed outside the hotel following the incident, and the federal agency has launched an investigation into the matter.

While it remains unclear whether the maggots were discovered before any delegates consumed their food, the quick response by law enforcement and hotel staff likely prevented any potential harm.

A spokesperson for the City of Chicago provided additional details on the incident, revealing that several women had entered the building and placed the insects on the tables containing food.

“Multiple unknown female offenders are alleged to have entered a building (200 block of North Columbus Drive) and began placing unknown objects onto tables containing food. The offenders are believed to have then left the area. One victim was treated and released on-scene. Along with CPD, FBI-Chicago is assisting in the investigation. No further information is available at this time,” the spokesperson said.

Indiana delegate Tracy Boyd expressed relief and gratitude for the swift actions taken by both the Chicago Police Department and the FBI. “They protected us, of course, and turned it around in minutes,” Boyd said. “I really do want to give a shout-out to the hotel staff and leadership.”

As the investigation continues, the identity and motives of the perpetrators remain unknown.

However, some speculate that the anti-Semitic protesters seen outside the DNC could be involved.

This theory is based on a previous incident reported by The Gateway Pundit, where pro-Hamas activists released maggots at the Watergate Hotel in Washington, D.C., during Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to the United States.

Law enforcement officials, particularly the FBI, were commended for their rapid response to the incident.

The quick reaction has also sparked discussions on the broader implications of security protocols for political events, especially in light of growing tensions and the possibility of similar disruptions in the future.

As investigations continue, law enforcement agencies are working to identify the individuals responsible and determine their motives.

The Fairmont Hotel and its staff have been lauded for their quick response in managing the situation and ensuring the safety and comfort of their guests.
