"Make sure they hear you, they’re in the windows," the woman said on a loudspeaker.
Cohen, in response to the protesters, went scorched Earth in a post on X.
"If you are wondering what scum of the earth look like, it’s these people harassing and yelling at children at Sloan Kettering getting cancer treatments," he wrote. "Hard to fathom there are adults that condone and support that type of behavior."

"For 100 days, they have existed in fear for their lives, not knowing what tomorrow will bring. For 100 days, their families have lived in agony, praying for the safe return of their loved ones. And for each of those 100 days, the hostages and their families have been at the forefront of my mind as my national security team and I have worked non-stop to try to secure their freedom," Biden said.
