Harris snaps and loses it on anti-genocide Palestinian protesters

[acidhead]

Not a good look for candidate Harris who has been branding herself as aligning with the peace vote and opposed to Israel's Netanyahu handling of the conflict in Gaza. 

(Note: Jeff Mason is the Reuters White House correspondent reporter)

Here's a camera on Harris where she loses her cool and scolds the peace protesters many who are young voters:

HI Cid

Actually she has every right to tell them to quiet down as most people were there to hear her speak. It wasn't a rally about or for Palistine. Do they do this at Trump's rallies or maybe he paid them to disrupt hers. Not saying he did but wouldn't put it past him. 

[Occupational Hubris]

lol this is all you've got?

 

The diaper is going down so f'ing hard in Nov if this trend continues. 

[psyche101]

Wow, look at the crowds cheers her on.

She's so much better at dealing with people than Trump isn't she. She takes command as opposed to throwing insults. Can't really hear her in the first clip. No wonder she would tell people to keep it down. Are they there to see her or themselves on tv? 

Her campaign is picking up steam daily. She is doing very well.

The Democrat Party is alienating a large percentage of its voter base by ignoring the pleas from the anti-war crowd and there's a lot of them. It will only grow larger as Harris lashes out at them to shut up and get out of her Rally's.  

They're not paid by Trump to be there. That's hogwash. They're being ignored and alienated by their own Democrat Party and the media ever since the slaughter began shortly after 10/7. 

I'll agree with Harris, to an extent, the alternative is Trump and the Republican Party. 

But what is she and Democrats offering since they've been the ones allowing the slaughter to continue? Absolutely nothing. Slim lip service. The weapons keep getting delivered. 

And then they're told to shut up she's speaking when they come to support her and the Democrat Party that puts on the illusion like they actually give a damn about their pleas.

HI Cid

I guess if they weren't chanting over her they might have heard what she had to say or might have. Their disruption may have done more to hurt then help themselves. I see you didn't address my question about why they don't do this at Trump rallies as either one of them could win. Seems like selective targeting so no I won't say it wasn't a ploy to disrupt with any confidence.

Before her rally in Detroit, Vice President Kamala Harris spoke briefly with the co-founders of the Uncommitted National Movement, which mobilized tens of thousands of voters in Michigan to withhold their votes from President Biden in the primary earlier this year over his support for Israel’s war in Gaza. Abbas Alawieh and Layla Elabed said they were in the welcoming line for Harris and Governor Walz, and communicated to Harris that they wanted to support her but that voters wanted her to consider an arms embargo to immediately stop the carnage in the besieged enclave.

I tagged you in my last post to show you the an anti-war Palestinian group met with Kamala before the event. 

These are uncommitted Democrat voters.

They want her to stop the killing. 

Some of the protesters disrupted the event. 

These Palestinian protest movements do not go to Trump Rally's.  They wouldn't make it past the front gates into one of his events. Surely, you know this and cannot be this naive?

HI Cid

Thanks, now why don't they protest at Trump rallies as elections are only a couple of months away so either one of them will be elected. Right now she is not the president so not much she can do at this time really. Like I say their disruption may work against them

[the13bats]

The expression "shoot yourself in your foot" comes to mind when I see Harris being able to handle curve balls at her rally being used geaspingly as a bad thing, on the contrary if and thats a qualifying "if" the convicted felon stops being a chicken and debates Harris just imagine when he starts his typical bs just how badly she will slap cheeto down.

HI Cid

Why wouldn't they get into a Trump rally all they have to do is show up in non-descriptor clothing and keep quiet until he starts speaking, surely they are not that stupid. I don't follow politics as feverently as you do so maybe I am naive but if I want to do something I generally do my homework.

If I may poke my head up out of my foxhole briefly.

I think the peace faction behaves rationally in focusing on Harris rather than Trump, in the sense that if the Democrats do win in November, there is some prospect that internal party politics will yield at least "half a loaf" (= a compromise) in Gaza. Cease fire and security guarantees, something like that. If Trump wins, he's all in for Israel, and maybe even thinks he's the Messiah. He's not persuadable, nor are his devotees. Harris is persuadable, and a chunk of her devotees are already persuaded; therefore focus scarce resources on Harris.

I'll just pull my head in now.

HI Eight Bits

Thanks and yes that was pretty much my thought as well. Fortunately they don't have to deal with me as a protest organizer as I am very much equal opportunity when it comes to pushing buttons so likely would do a Trump rally as Harris has been doing much better than Joe which is a concern for Trump's party so members of his party might not like bad publicity with public protests at a rally. What I was saying to Cid was because of his comment that Trump wouldn't let them into the rally in the first place. Pretty sure that at rally of over 10,000 people I could get a fair number of protesters in as supporters wearing Maga hats and shirts to disrupt the show. 

I stay out of Middle East discussions simply because there will never be peace given the thousands of years of conflict that it has had and everyone is armed to the teeth itching to kill someone. At best they will have a lull for a while then start up again unfortunately. 

I don't think protesting the party that you think offers the best chance of negotiating a favorable outcome during the election is going to work in their favor and would be better to do after the election and vote for that party to ensure they get in. But that is just me and I don't vote in my country anyway.

the Israel/Gaza situation was lingering behind the initial Kamala vibe wave. i was waiting to see when it would pop up again. it did in two turns, Kamala picking Walz and then with this moment with protestors. oddly, those two actions are in perceived conflict depending on who you ask. i do not expect the pro-Palestinian protestors to back down. yet, Harris cannot cave to them. i similarly do not expect Harris to maintain unbridled support from select Jewish demographics with disregard to her rhetoric on Israel. she needs significant votes from both sides on this one and i'm not sure it can be accomplished. it will be interesting to see the strategy going forward. normally just focusing on Trump would work, but both groups are already anti-Trump and can't be won over merely by repeating the strategy of the last 8 years. get your popcorn ready.

There will be people voting for Harris solely based on her identity and not know a thing about her policies.

As opposed to voting for the other team with a convicted felon/sex offender/likely pedophile/human piece of garbage who has no policies in the first place at the head? Yeah, that's really something to worry about. Idiots who vote for the felon, that is.

I love how the best the orange menace team can up with is crap like this. Oh no - VP got a DUI decades ago, VP retired from the armed forces after years of service rather than get deployed again, her husband cheated on some other woman decades ago, she got snippy giving a speech when interrupted. That's the best they can find. It's laughably desperate.

And yet you ignore the news about Biden raping a female intern and taking showers with his 11-year-old daughter.

If it's about Biden, it's gotta be rightwing lies. But if it's about Trump, you instantly believe it.

Even if he did, he's not running anymore, is he. Meanwhile, orange felon-pedo-bear is still trying to win. Shitbag needs to bow out.

If he actually did illegal things, he should be tried and convicted just like your orange daddy was/is/will be. I have never seen anyone say he should be allowed to break the law.

Ask the same about rump, and that opinion changes depending on the color of their hat.

The reason they were there to protest is because they fear nothing will change under a President Harris.  They are right, it won't.

They'll just get worse. I can't believe people can't see or don't care that she is a full blown communist.

And what would the change be if Trump won?
