On Wednesday, pro-Palestine interrupted speech for Kamala Harris, the Democratic presidential nominee, in Detroit, Michigan.
“Kamala, Kamala, you can’t hide. We won’t vote for genocide,” the protesters reportedly chanted.
Harris initially responded to the protesters saying she is “here because we believe in democracy. Everyone’s voice matters, but I am speaking now. I am speaking now”.
As the protest continued, Harris changed her tone.
“You know what? If you want Donald Trump to win, then say that. Otherwise, I’m speaking,” she said.
Michigan has a sizable Arab American minority, many of whom disapprove of the Democratic party’s handling of the Israeli genocide war on Gaza.

Harris was criticized by social media users for the response she had chosen in what was reportedly the first rally interruption she has faced since replacing Joe Biden as the Democratic nominee.
