Harris Stops Rally Mid-Speech to Confront Hecklers Protesting Gaza War
Protesters appearing to support Palestine interrupted Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign speech in Detroit, Michigan Wednesday night, the second of the day’s campaign rallies for the Democratic presidential ticket in two crucial “Blue Wall” states.
Just after 7 p.m. local time, as Harris was outlining what her Republican opponent, Donald Trump, plans on enacting during a second term—“he intends to surrender our fight against the climate crisis, and he intends to end the Affordable Care Act”—a group of protesters in the audience in front of Harris chanted, “Kamala, Kamala, you can’t hide. We won’t vote for genocide.”
Harris then deviated from her prepared remarks to address them.
