Kamala Harris Book Tour Launch Interrupted by Protests

This video discusses the protests that occurred during Kamala Harris's book tour launch event and analyzes her response to the pro-Palestinian demonstrators, as well as her past stances on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The video argues that Harris's attempt to distance herself from Biden's policies is disingenuous, given her previous unwavering support for Israel.

Key Points:

  • Kamala Harris faced repeated interruptions from pro-Palestinian protesters at her book tour launch.
  • Harris attempted to distance herself from President Biden's response to the war in Gaza, stating, "I made my position clear" in closed rooms.
  • The video questions the sincerity of Harris's claim, highlighting her previous opportunities to express differing views publicly, especially during her presidential campaign.
  • Footage of the protests includes demonstrators chanting, "Your legacy is genocide" and criticizing her support for Israel.
  • The video references a statement from August where Harris's national security advisor affirmed her commitment to Israel's defense.
  • During a CNN interview, Harris stated she was "unequivocal and unwavering" in her commitment to Israel's defense.
  • The video cites an Israeli air official stating that without the US weapons supplied by the Biden-Harris administration, Israel's aggression against Gaza could not have been sustained for long.
  • The speakers argue that Harris's policy on Israel is essentially the same as Biden's, facilitating what they describe as a genocide.
  • They suggest that if Harris had promised to stop arm sales to Israel, she could have won over voters who were otherwise reluctant to support her.
  • The video concludes that a clear stance against the ongoing conflict could have potentially swayed swing states in her favor.

So, Kamala is critical of Israeli genocide, and then Trump disparages her for being “disrespectful” to Netanyahu.

I really wish the “Genocide Joe” crowd would finally awaken to the fact that they got fucked by Russian psyops.

Russian psyops

People keep falling for the Russiagate propaganda.

The true psyops we need to worry aboyt are by Israel and the Zionists in the United States.

Genocide Joe, Kamala Harris, Bernie Sanders, AOC, Trump, and most politicians are owned and controlled by AIPAC.

Bernie and AOC owned and controlled by AIPAC? They could do better to be more on the left and more critical of AIPAC but that's quite the false statement.

They do not openly get donations and money from them.

They are career politicians, pushing AIPAC and Zionist talking points.
