'I am speaking now': Harris rally in Michigan interrupted by pro-Palestinian protesters
What this hack piece of news failed to report:
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.”
Harris listened to stories of people in Michigan who have had dozens of family members killed in Gaza. The leaders asked to meet with her about the embargo request, and she indicated she was open to it, and introduced the two leaders to her staff.
They kinda did tho:
Leaders of the Uncommitted National Movement, which supported voting "uncommitted" on Democratic primary ballots rather than voting for Biden, briefly spoke with Harris at the Detroit rally.
"Michigan voters want to support you, but we need a policy that will save lives in Gaza right now. I meet with community members every day in Michigan who are losing tens and hundreds of family members in Gaza. Right now, we need an arms embargo," Layla Elabed, a co-founder of Uncommitted, told Harris, according to the group.
Well... I was wondering how long it would take you to go from posting anti-Biden articles to anti-Harris articles.
Looks like it only took a couple of weeks.
It's from a very reputable news source, NBC News. Many other outlets are covering it too. They did an entire segment with pundits discussing it on CNN. It's still a big issue that can't be swept under the rug
Here's the CNN segment: https://youtu.be/jfyfdThTZ88
Yes, the story is fine. The way it is being spun by you and the original source you provided is not.
You don't care that she spoke to the protesters before the rally began. You only care that she shut them down when they interrupted the rally.
That's fair, people are there to listen to Harris not whatever random audience members can shout the loudest.
Took me too long to realize ozma is truly a concern troll. Rooting for Harris while shitting on Biden, now shitting on Harris like they didn't endorse her just recently. Blocked.
Politics is messy. It's ok to criticize politicians. They're not your friend. They work for us. Never said don't vote for her. I'm saying she's really going to lose some of the young vote she just gained back if she keeps it up. Also the uncommitted voters.

I mean. If she wants to keep following what Biden was doing then Donald Trump will win. Maybe listen to the protestors once in a while, since they have the power to make or break your presidency. Not saying that what the protestors were doing wasn’t rude, but the point of protesting is to enact change so maybe make your policy clear and make sure it’s the right one.
Liberals are downvoting this post so hard. they don't like talking about how Harris is just as establishment compatible as Biden is. and how she will carry on with his genocidal policies.
Vote Blue no matter have no morals
I wish my fellow leftists would realize that protests like these don't work. We don't further our cause by alienating ourselves from the political mainstream. We need to be concerned with the efficacy of our actions, not only the justification for them. Having good intentions is not enough, we also need effective strategies.
Yeah. Gaslighting and threatening concerned citizens protesting a live streamed genocide is totally acceptable
