A hastily organized Democratic rally supporting Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz descended into chaos after anti-Israel protesters infiltrated the New York event — and later barged into an after-party venue.
Several demonstrators against Israel’s military campaign in Gaza were booted from the Harlem gathering as Mayor Eric Adams gave an impassioned speech.

Adams stood with other elected prominent state Democrats — including City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams, who is not related to the mayor, and Gov. Kathy Hochul, as he endorsed the party’s presidential ticket.
“Everyone that’s on this stage right now comes from different political spectrum, we don’t always agree on the same thing,” he said.

While protesters were escorted out of the main rally, the demonstration took an ugly turn in front of a restaurant where some rallygoers gathered.
At another point, authorities chased after another on Broadway during a brief encounter.
“Free Gaza” was also graffitied on a police car.

I guess Harris wasn’t there.
but she’s doing great in the polls?
Love it when birds of a feather dust up the newspaper on the
bottom of the cage, so each of them gets dust in their lungs.
More more... encore...
Think she’ll go back to Michigan??
In the words of The World’s Most Interesting Man: “The AFTER-party—THAT’S the one you want to get invited too! Stay thirsty, my friends!”
Sounds like ImaFascist crashed the party.
I don’t get it. They are on the same side as the demonrats so what are they proving by causing problems?
Optics. Makes the ticket look like it has the same antisemitic enemies.
