Vice President Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee for president, fired back at pro-Palestinian protesters of Israel’s war in Gaza as they interrupted her speech during a Wednesday night campaign rally in Detroit.

“You know what? If you want Donald Trump to win, then say that. Otherwise, I’m speaking,” Harris said with a long stare, drawing loud cheers from supporters in the crowd before chants of, “Not going back!”

    She should probably check her polling data. If the majority of potential constituents are diehard Zionists then she should probably just shut up about the situation altogether. The threat of “BuT TrUmP” shouldn’t scare anybody nearly as much as it should scare her -if it should scare anyone at all.

      but again what could she realistically say, that would not be an outright lie in relation to the position a us president will be in office, that would get their support. I mean should she just lie and figure she can deal with the repercussions next election if she wins?

        Then she should say nothing. Politicians say nothing all of the time, this would have been a great opportunity for her to practice that.

            Them’s the breaks of a Democracy. If you don’t have the majority you protest and agitate and try to sway support, but she’s the one that risks swaying votes by providing a response. --Make no mistake, I don’t like her. I don’t support her, but if she’s smart and she want’s to win then she needs to try not to alienate any more voters than necessary.

            No, I’m not an expert, nor am I running a campaign. I just read, and pay attention. What’s your excuse?

              I’m not the one acting like I know how to run a presidential campaign.

                Well, then I guess you have nothing of value to offer in furtherance of the discussion, but this is how question and answer works. Somebody asks me a question, and I answer with my best response --A better response than what was offered by Kamala and unlike Kamala, I can afford to lose votes.

                  You mean, you have nothing of value to offer besides your opinion that is based on your feelings with no knowledge of how they system works. Gotcha.
