“We Won’t Vote for Genocide”: Pro-Palestinian Protesters Disrupt Kamala Harris’s Detroit Speech

HeadlineAug 08, 2024

At a rally Wednesday in Detroit, Michigan, Palestinian rights protesters disrupted a speech by Kamala Harris.

Vice President Kamala Harris: “And he intends to end the Affordable Care Act. You know what? If you want Donald Trump to win, then say that; otherwise, I’m speaking.”

The protesters were chanting “Kamala, Kamala, you can’t hide. We won’t vote for genocide.” Ahead of the rally, leaders of the Uncommitted National Movement met Harris briefly and requested a meeting to discuss demands for an arms embargo against Israel. Harris is speaking at a United Auto Workers event today in Detroit.
