Once again, Vice President Kamala Harris was interrupted at a rally by anti-Israel protesters.

While the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee was attempting to talk about her newly chosen running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, Friday evening, chants from protesters somewhere in the crowd broke out.

They were at first drowned out by the approximately 15,000-person crowd’s chants of "USA! USA!" but as they continued to protest, Harris chose to address them.


"Here’s the thing. We are all in here together," she said at Glendale’s Desert Diamond Arena, "because we love our country. We're here to fight for our democracy, which includes respecting the voices that I think that we are hearing from."

She added, "And let me just say this on the topic of what I think I'm hearing over there. Let me just speak to that for a moment, and then I'm going to get back to the business at hand. So, let me say, I have been clear. Now is the time to get a cease-fire deal and get the hostage deal done. Now is the time. And the president and I are working around the clock every day to get that ceasefire deal done and bring the hostages home. So, I respect your voices, but we are here to now talk about this race in 2024."

Around four or five protesters were removed from the rally.

Her address to the protesters comes two days after she received praise and criticism when she told protesters: "You know what? If you want Donald Trump to win, then say that. Otherwise, I’m speaking."

While some criticized her clapback shown in a clip that circulated on social media, the 59-year-old had actually affirmed their right to protest at first.
