Vice presidential candidate Kamala Harris shouted down protesters during a campaign speech in Michigan on Wednesday.
The protesters, who opposed Israel fights with HamasHarris interrupted about midway through his speech.
At first, Harris addressed those who tried to disrupt her by saying she was “here because I believe in democracy and everyone’s voice matters, but I’m speaking now.”
But as the protesters continued to boo her, Harris became more combative.

“You know what, if you want Donald Trump to win, then say so. Otherwise, I’ll speak,” Harris said, drawing static cheers from the crowd.
The demonstrators were eventually led away, but not before a tense confrontation between Harris supporters and protesters shouting at each other.
The exchange came during a visit by Harris and her new running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, to Wisconsin and Michigan where they hoped to support the younger, diverse, pro-work voters.

President Biden’s support for Israel in its ongoing war against Hamas terrorists in the Gaza Strip has been a weak point for the administration.
Harris told the day’s first rally in Eau Claire, “As Tim Walz likes to point out, we are happy warriors.”

She said they are looking to the future with optimism, unlike Trump, the former president and Republican White House nominee, whom she accused of being stuck in the past and favoring confrontational politics — even as she criticized her opponent herself.

“Anyone who suggests that we should abrogate the Constitution of the United States should never again have the chance to sit behind the seal of the United States,” Harris said, her voice rising.
