'If you want Donald Trump to win, then say that': Harris fires back at Gaza protesters at rally
Kamala Harris fired back at protesters of Israel's war in Gaza as they interrupted her speech during a Wednesday night campaign rally in Detroit.
I'm glad she's finally saying it out loud.
Ew, this is not the dunk libs think it is. “Don’t protest our complicity in genocide or else you’ll lose democracy and freedom.”
Edit: Downvote all you want, libs. I run this server.

That's not the dunk you think it is, and that's why I love Lemmy. We can get our news from a plethora of other communities and instances. And what a way to follow your own rule: "Be respectful".
I agree with what you say before editing, what you say after qualifies you as an asshole
I literally don't care
Considering how AIPAC just destroyed two members of the squad it's fair to acknowledge the reality of that statement.
I hope she does address the situation seriously. I desperately want the Gazan people to receive humanitarian aid and for the genocide to stop. But I'm also a geopolitical realist. There are limits to what can be done without making this or other situations worse.
So I expect whatever position Harris ultimately takes to both be decried as woefully inadequate and also an unconscionable betrayal of our commitments to our allies. Nothing short of a full-throated commitment to one side or the other will land outside that middle ground.
Not that protesting isn't vital. I'm glad they got the chance to shout and get their moment of press over it, and I'm glad it didn't derail her intended speech. Public awareness it's important.
