A rally in Pennsylvania on Wednesday turned bad for Kamala Harris, as she was heckled by anti-Israel/pro-Gaza activists who called her a “war criminal” and drowned her out while she was attempting to speak.
During the Wednesday rally in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, activists could be heard screaming in the background while Harris attempted to attack Trump and talk about “financial pressures.” As Harris is barely capable of speaking on her own during softball interviews, it was no surprise that her speech was derailed by the anti-Israel protesters — but other attendees were at least able to boo the protesters.
Despite being unable to deal with even the slightest pushback on most occasions, Harris was eventually able to raise her voice above the protesting, stating: “We are six days out from an election. We are six days away from an election, and ours is about the fight for democracy and your right to be heard. Everyone has the right to be heard, but right now I am speaking.”

While she desperately tried to regain control of the crowd, at least one protester was able to throw her off: shouting “you’re a war criminal” after blowing a loud whistle, according to the New York Post.
Harris responded: “We love our democracy. It can be complicated at times, but it’s the best system in the world.”
This is just the latest in a long line of Harris’ attempts to sound tough with her “I am speaking” comments, though she appears to prefer using that ridiculous response for pro-Trump protesters rather than anti-Israel protesters — who are a significant portion of the Democrat Party base, which she needs to court to win the election. Harris, like most Democrats, has difficulty trying to court the pro-Israel Democrats and the anti-Israel leftists at the same time.
Harris made a similar “I am speaking” retort during an August speech in Detroit, where she was also heckled by anti-Israel activists chanting: “Kamala! Kamala! You Can’t Hide! We Won’t Vote for Genocide!”
She responded: “I’m here because we believe in democracy. Everyone’s voice matters, but I am speaking now.”
“You know what? If you want Donald Trump to win, then say that. Otherwise, I’m speaking,” Harris added.
