Vice President Kamala Harris told anti-Israel hecklers who interrupted her Detroit campaign rally Wednesday night that their activism risks handing the Nov. 5 election to former President Donald Trump.
“Kamala! Kamala! You Can’t Hide! We Won’t Vote for Genocide!” a group of protesters chanted.
“You know what? If you want Donald Trump to win, then say that. Otherwise, I’m speaking,” the 59-year-old Democratic presidential nominee said after a series of disruptions — pausing to stare down the demonstrators.
Moments earlier, Harris had tried to wait out the ruckus, saying with a more patient tone, “I’m here because we believe in democracy. Everyone’s voice matters, but I am speaking now.”
The sustained heckling was notable because Harris thus far had avoided significant disruptions at her public events by opponents of US support for Israel’s invasion of the Gaza Strip in response to Hamas terrorists killing about 1,200 people on Oct. 7, 2023.
President Biden, 81, who dropped out of the presidential race on July 21 and endorsed Harris as his successor, faced months of irate protesters bellowing the nickname “Genocide Joe!” — with some swing-state polling showing that Arab and Muslim voters were poised to desert him, possibly aiding Trump, 78.
Michigan in particular is home to large numbers of Arab and Muslim voters.

Kamabla speaks?
Kamala confuses her Hamas wing w/Trump followers? now that’s WEIRD!
The last chance for them to protest at a major political event before the election is the Democrat convention.
Let me guess, an exhibition/preseason match?
Guess there is no pleasing the insane.
i expect they’ll swamp college campuses again once fall semester begins. i am anxious to see how Chicago handles them.
Reminiscent of “Hogan’s Heroes”.
On the contrary, now what she said in response makes more sense.
She’s telling the hecklers that rejection of her, public denigration of her, indirectly benefits the electoral prospects of Trump (which she is obviously implying would be worse than any Harris/Walz administration).
She was negotiating with the Hamas wing of her party, right there during a campaign speech.
That’s Trump’s nickname for her, right?
What is meant by it? (Serious question.)
She proves that she’s a blow up artist. She can be had and thrown off course by anyone in the audience. Big mistake
At a minimum she’s shown she is still sensitive to being accused of being too pro-Israel, something she had hoped to avoid having shunned Shapiro in favor of Schwetty Balz.
She now learns that the pro-Hamas wing of her party is not so easily appeased or bought-off. Too bad, so sad for her!
“Kamala! Kamala! You Can’t Hide! We Won’t Vote for Genocide!” ....
Same lame rhythmic chant has been used for decades. Usually with the out of sync drum beaters.
Waltz has the Solmali population he continues to import. Identity politics is now anti-American.
The convention is going to be crazy. The chance for Hamas lovers to be seen on national TV.
Nice to see their hair covered like good little Mooselimbs.
“Hey, you jerks! Put a lid on it until AFTER the election!”
Kamala to young women:
Mentors come in all shapes and sizes. Some of my mentors have been men. Just remember when all else fails, just be lovely.
Just let me and this other nutbar get installed in the WH.. then you can go crazy.
