I'm curious to learn more about this. Have a link?

But anyway during Biden/Kamala4genocide times there were dozens of videos showing protesters kicked out everywhere they protested, like they were criminals. Just like this Senator.
Here I leave this nice video of the journalist Sam Husseini being dragged out FOR JUST ASKING about the genocide by #blinkenthebutcherofgaza. Include Max Blumenthal.

in reply to Disisdeguey🔻Pavlichenko🇵🇸 • • •I remember that incident with Blinken well.
I'm not trying to make excuses just genuinely want to know if my perception of what happened that day at the Kamala rally was wrong that's all.
I really would love to know how and why Israel has such a stronghold on western governments.
It certainly smells like some mind control psychological operation from the 1950s. And it's not just the US. Canada. The UK. Germany. France. Australia. The mental gymnastics that every politician there has to jump through to justify their unwavering support to a bunch of terrorists is maddening.
Almost makes me believe that all our politicians are a bunch of lizard people aliens from another planet hell-bent on world domination or something.
Almost.

Police also used pepper spray and fired projectiles containing chemical irritants.
Demonstrator Dani Noble said people came to the DNC to peacefully call on Democratic Party leadership to support a ceasefire in Gaza.
Instead, “we were met by police pulling on folks that are disabled or have chronic illnesses, pulling people to the ground in riot gear”, Noble said"

## What Happened After Kamala Harris Said "I'm Speaking" to Protesters at Her Rally
Incident Overview
During a campaign rally in Detroit, Michigan, Vice President Kamala Harris was interrupted by a group of pro-Palestinian protesters who began chanting slogans such as “Kamala, Kamala, you can’t hide! We won’t vote for genocide” and demanding a ceasefire in Gaza and an arms embargo on Israel[6][8][9][10]. Harris responded by asserting, “If you want Donald Trump to win, then say that. Otherwise, I’m speaking,” echoing a phrase she became known for during the 2020 vice presidential debate[6][8][10]. Her supporters responded with applause and chants to drown out the protesters[8][10].
What Happened to the Protesters
The protesters were escorted out of the rally by campaign staff and security personnel after their interruption[6][9]. This is a standard response at political events when disruptions occur, and there are no reports from the provided sources of any arrests or further altercations following their removal[6][9].
Protesters’ Perspective
Two of the protesters, identified as Hamamy and Hakim, later spoke to Mother Jones about their motivations, stating that their goal was to pressure Harris to call for a ceasefire in Gaza and to highlight her support for Israel[9]. They acknowledged that they expected to be removed from the event and expressed that their main objective was to draw attention to their cause[9].
Aftermath and Broader Context
The incident was widely covered in the media and became a talking point about Harris’s approach to handling protests on the campaign trail[2][3][6][7][8][9][10]. Harris has faced similar interruptions at other rallies, especially regarding the Gaza conflict, and has generally responded by affirming the right to protest while firmly redirecting the focus to her message[2][7].
Summary Table: Key Details
| Event | What Happened to Protesters | Harris’ Response | Aftermath/Impact |
|---------------------------------|-----------------------------|-----------------------------|-----------------------------------|
| Detroit rally, Aug 2024 | Escorted out by staff | "I'm speaking" | Media coverage, no arrests noted |
| Protesters’ motivation | Call for Gaza ceasefire | Affirmed right to protest | Protesters gave interviews |
Conclusion
After Kamala Harris told the protesters "I'm speaking" at her Detroit rally, the protesters were escorted out by campaign personnel. There were no reports of further incident or arrests, and the protesters later discussed their actions publicly, emphasizing their intent to spotlight Gaza and U.S. policy[6][9][10]. Harris has continued to use such moments to reinforce her campaign messaging and her stance on protest and free speech[7][8].

I mean, even Mother Jones interviewed the activists (I just read the interview) that were removed that day and they didn't mention anything about being roughed up by anybody just an FYI.
I think it's important to always keep an open mind about Trump, about Palestine, about everything.

People in power don't like to be challenged.
No matter the country.
No matter the political party.
Democracy died a very long time ago.
