Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee for president, fired back at pro-Palestinian protesters of Israel’s war in Gaza as they interrupted her speech during a Wednesday night campaign rally in Detroit.

“You know what? If you want Donald Trump to win, then say that. Otherwise, I’m speaking,” Harris said with a long stare, drawing loud cheers from supporters in the crowd before chants of, “Not going back!”

      They’ve pinned their hopes on her, because who else can they turn to? If your priority is campaigning for an end to the genocide, then of course you’d say that.

      Sadly, her national security advisor just tweeted this today, so I’d say those of us who predicted Harris would just take Biden’s policy and give it a more sympathetic face are already looking to be proven correct:

      She literally implied Jewish Americans protesting in DC were associates of Hamas and further implied they’re Anti-Semites. This was just two weeks ago when Netanyahu was at the Capitol giving a speech to his clapping seals (a record number of standing ovations for genocide). What the fuck are you on about?

      Mind you, we are talking about Kamala’s statements. Not a random group’s that nobody’s ever heard of.

      It’d be nice to hear it from her own mouth. Also, telling protestors to shut up like that is a bad look.

      This has nothing to do with religion. The genocide is targeting Palestinians, not Muslims. Christian and atheist Palestinians are being murdered, kidnapped, and tortured the same as all Palestinians.
