Pro-Palestine protesters interrupt Kamala Harris’s speech
Michigan (Quds News Network)- Pro-Palestine protesters interrupted on Wednesday US Democratic presidential nominee Kamala Harris’s speech in Detroit, Michigan, in what was reportedly the first rally interruption she has faced since replacing Joe Biden.
“Kamala, Kamala, you can’t hide. We won’t vote for genocide,” the protesters reportedly chanted.
Harris initially responded to the protesters saying she is “here because we believe in democracy. Everyone’s voice matters, but I am speaking now. I am speaking now”.
As the protest continued, Harris changed her tone.
“You know what? If you want Donald Trump to win, then say that. Otherwise, I’m speaking,” she said.
Michigan has a sizable Arab American minority, many of whom disapprove of the Democratic party’s handling of the Israeli genocide war on Gaza.
Harris was criticized by social media users for the response she had chosen in what was reportedly the first rally interruption she has faced since replacing Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee.
So far there are no signs whatsoever that Harris will stop the ongoing crimes against Palestine. Those concerned with stopping these crimes have to put pressure on Harris and Walz to make real commitments and not just occasionally lament civilian deaths. https://t.co/Et88reg1Qk

To be clear, there is still ZERO evidence that Harris' policy on Palestine will diverge from Biden's at all.
If anything, all we know is that it will be the same policy, with more energy, 25 years younger, and accompanied by a lot more laughter.

Kamala just hushed Palestine protesters at her rally in MICHIGAN of all places. Bad optics. Started great announcing Walz but if the Harris campaign cannot openly call for a ceasefire after already participating 10 months in an active genocide, dems might lose Michigan
