After Harris rally, anti-Israel protesters throw smoke bombs, clash with police

 August 15, 2024

Despite the aggressively progressive tone that Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign has taken, even the left-wing take has left something to be desired among anti-Israel protesters.

Harris campaign learned this lesson the hard way when pro-Palestinian demonstrators engaged in violent confrontations with law officers and invaded an afterparty that was held in New York City to commemorate the Harris rally, as Fox News reported.

In the aftermath of a Harris rally that was held in Harlem and attended by Eric Adams, the Mayor of New York City, people were observed following the event and lined the street.

"You set Palestine on fire," one of the protesters was heard yelling.

More Rally Interactions

Protesters who were opposed to Israel were seen in the camera clip making a commotion and putting off smoke bombs: "How dare you," shouted another person.

At prior campaign appearances, Harris has been confronted by protesters, and he has yelled at them to remove them after they disrupted the event.

"You know what, if you want Donald Trump to win, then say that. Otherwise, I'm speaking," Harris said at a Michigan campaign event, eliciting static cheers from the audience.

A glaring weakness of the Biden administration, in the minds of many progressives, has been its backing of Israel's war against the terrorist group Hamas in the Gaza Strip.

Another Interruption

This comes just about a week after the Democrat nominee attempted to shout down protesters during a campaign speech in Michigan.

Around the middle of Harris's speech, the demonstrators, who were opposed to Israel's involvement in the conflict with Hamas, interfered, causing a pause in Harris' speech.

At first, Harris spoke to protesters by saying she was, "here because I believe in democracy and everybody's voice matters, but I am speaking now."

Harris became more combative as the protesters continued to shout her down.

Her Comments

"You know what, if you want Donald Trump to win, then say that. Otherwise, I'm speaking," Harris said, attracting cheers from the audience.

All of those who were participating in the demonstration were eventually removed, but not before a heated altercation broke out between supporters of Harris and protesters who yelled at one another.

The conversation took place during a trip that Harris and her new running mate, Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, were taking to the states of Wisconsin and Michigan.

The goal of the trip was to garner support from voters who were younger, more diverse, and more committed to labor, in the way that Walz and Harris see the future.
