The Parkman Bandstand Monument is a historic bandstand on the east side of the Boston Common in Boston.
Earlier this month, Clark spoke about extremism in politics while pointing fingers at the Republican Party during the debate over whether to nominate Kevin McCarthy as House Speaker.
Clark took some jabs at the Republican Party by insisting that they did not support the same values as the Democrats, such as equal pay for women, according to Boston.com.
He claimed there was a disconnect between party leaders that was hampering Congress, as McCarthy failed to get enough votes to be elected president for about two weeks.
“Unable to organize, unable to govern, unable to lead,” Clark said, according to the news outlet.
‘Years of blindly pursuing power, currying favor with special interests and bowing to election deniers have left the Republican Party in shambles.’
“Let’s look at the extremists who have taken over,” he continued.
Clark proceeded to call Republican Reps. Lauren Boebert, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Matt Gaetz.
“Let’s stop the smears and campaign tactics for people to turn on us, even for my favorite president to call us and say ‘We have to end this.’ I think it actually needs to be reversed.

Another person was arrested for graffiti and resisting arrest in Boston about an hour after Dowell.
Andrea Colletti, 27, was apprehended by officers after a brief foot chase.
Colletti gave the officers a brief struggle before they handcuffed her.
Meanwhile, Antifa protests in Atlanta turned violent Saturday as explosives-wielding rioters chanted “I can’t breathe” as they were arrested by police officers after setting cars on fire, setting off fireworks and smashing windows with hammers.
Dressed in black hoodies, ski masks and surgical face masks to conceal their identity as they carried out rampant acts of vandalism, video footage showed at least three being pinned to the ground by police officers as they shouted George Floyd’s last words.
Unlike Floyd, however, who died at the hands of Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin in May 2020, those handcuffed on Saturday night were clearly able to breathe and made their shouted statements audible in front of the crowd. cameras.
The six rioters who were arrested have yet to be identified and their charges have not been released.
