Vice President Kamala Harris was labeled a “war criminal” by a protester blowing a whistle on Wednesday, as her third campaign event in less than 24 hours was interrupted by anti-Israel activists.
During her afternoon rally in Harrisburg, Pa., Harris, 60, at one point admonished the activists opposed to Israel’s invasion of the Gaza Strip, telling them, “Right now I am speaking!” as the event started to spiral out of control.
“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,” the veep said after a round of antiwar chants.
“Everyone has the right to be heard, but right now, I am speaking!” she said to raucous applause, repeating a phrase she has been using since her lone debate with then-Vice President Mike Pence in 2020.
Shortly thereafter, another protester blew a whistle and then shouted: “You’re a war criminal!”
“We love our democracy. It can be complicated at times, but it’s the best system in the world,” Harris said in response.
During an earlier event in Raleigh, N.C., another man interrupted her, yelling, “Kamala Harris, you have disrespected the Palestinian community!”
