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!”

    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.

      That statement you linked is about a specific incident in a specific protest that happened one time in DC at Union Station where flags were burned and pro hamas graffiti went up. That is not the blanket statement you say she is implying. It’s about that specific group of protesters who left those specific messages.

      So whatever you’re arguing please take a step back and think “how can I actually get these people to help my cause?” And what you will conclude is that talking to her face to face in a dedicated meeting with all your talking points and evidence at hand with all your expertise is going to give you more success.

      And look and behold I linked above the actual organization of black Muslim communities and their leadership here who are doing just that. Talking to her and sharing evidence and expertise with a plan to find actionable solutions.

      And what’s this? They are saying that working with her is going well and they are endorsing her as the candidate who should win in November.
