On November 8, Pennsylvania State Police arrested several protesters and treated minor injuries after a clash between bike riders and counter-demonstrators in Rittenhouse Square, Philadelphia. Earlier, on November 1, Governor Josh Shapiro, Mayor Cherelle Parker and the Anti-Defamation League condemned the planned ride as antisemitic and called for police protection. JewBelong then placed billboards urging the public to "boycott the boycott," and CNN host Michael Smerconish also denounced the event as blatant antisemitism.
