During the election campaign, he also challenged the Labour big beast over his stance on Gaza, confronting him while he was out canvassing.
In a video posted by Mr Freeman on social media, the pro-Palestinian campaigner can be heard asking Mr Ashworth if he condemns Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, and why he initially failed to back calls for a ceasefire in the Commons.
Mr Ashworth also recorded the confrontation, saying: “I’m not going to have these guys bully me off the street.”
Mr Freeman replied: “No one’s bullying you,”, insisting he had a “right to question” the Labour candidate. He added: “You’ve got the blood of Palestinian men, women and children on your hands… It’s a disgrace.”
Mr Freeman captioned the video with the comment: “Bumped into Labour MP @JonAshworth who was canvassing in Leicester.
“Elderly Muslim uncles who prev supported Jon came out to ask why he abstained from the [Palestinian] ceasefire vote so he restored to playing victim by saying we were bullying & intimidating him. We have every right to Q you.”
When Mr Adam won in Leicester South, Mr Freeman tweeted: “Remember this from the other week? @JonAshworth will be regretting this right now. The best man @ShockatAdam won and has now replaced him in Leicester South.”
