Kamala Harris Shuts Down Pro-Palestine Protestors At Rally

DETROIT, MI (ANI) – Vice President Kamala Harris shut down pro-Palestine protestors who interrupted her speech at a rally here.

Demonstrators in the crowd repeatedly shouted out, “Kamala, Kamala you can’t hide, we won’t vote for genocide,” The Hill reported.

The crowd at the Detroit airplane hangar, however, booed and drowned out the protesters with chants of “Kamala.”

“I’m here because we believe in democracy. Everyone’s voice matters, but I am speaking now. I am speaking now,” Harris said. When the protestors did not relent, she said, “You know what, if you want Donald Trump to win then say that. Otherwise, I’m speaking.”

The crowd backed her as she stared the group down. On TV, it went down well and as looking in command.

Michigan is home to a particularly high Arab American population, especially in the Detroit suburbs. It has been noted as interesting that they have chosen to shout at Democratic rallies – the party that is likely to hear them out more than Trump’s Republican party which has staunchly defended Israel.

Harris after a meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel last month had stated that she would “always ensure that Israel is able to defend itself, including from Iran and Iran-backed militias, such as Hamas and Hezbollah.”

“I’ve said it many times, but it bears repeating, Israel has a right to defend itself, but how it does so matters,” Harris said after the meeting with Netanyahu.

She also said she is committed to “a path forward that can lead to a two-state solution.”At the Detroit rally, the head of the United Auto Workers Shawn Fain tore into Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and rallied support for Harris.

Union workers could play a key role in Michigan, the home of the auto industry. Michigan broke from decades of steady Democratic support to elect Trump in 2016 before Biden flipped the state back in 2020.
