Watch: Pro-Palestinian Protesters Target Kamala Harris, Call Her a ‘Killer’ During Wild DNC Moment
The excerpt describes a scene from the Democratic National Convention (DNC) in 2024, highlighting a stark contrast between the atmosphere inside the United Center in Chicago and the protests occurring outside. Inside, prominent figures, including President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, promoted unity and positivity, but outside, demonstrators vocally denounced them with accusations of complicity in genocide, especially in the context of the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict. The protests, though not as numerous as expected, were fervent, with chants like “Killer Kamala” and ”Genocide Joe” expressing frustrations from a leftist contingent that feels Biden and Harris are not doing enough to support Palestinian rights.
The protests symbolize a significant challenge for the Democratic Party as it heads into the upcoming elections, showing a potential rift with younger voters unsatisfied with the party’s stance on critical issues. Biden acknowledged the protesters’ points regarding the loss of innocent lives on both sides, which further illustrates the internal conflicts within the party. this scenario reflects broader issues the Democrats may face, especially with their approach to complex foreign affairs and the need to maintain unity within the party. The narrative concludes with a warning about the dangers of trying to navigate moral complexities in a politically charged environment.
Inside the United Center in Chicago on the first night of the Democratic National Convention, pretty much everyone tried to present a picture of unity behind Vice President Kamala Harris.
Outside, they were calling her a murderer.
Inside, the night’s biggest-name speaker — President Joe Biden, if just president in name only — said that the pro-Palestinian protesters making that allegation “have a point.”
Outside, the protesters were calling him “Genocide Joe.”
Inside, it was a love-fest for the candidate of “joy” and “vibes.”
Outside? “Killer Kamala is her name! Killing children is her game!”
It was, perhaps the best summation of one of the Democratic Party’s biggest problems as November looms: Despite having the media in her corner and despite the fact that she’s gotten away with not answering questions or even being accountable to anyone in the press, there’s still a far-left contingent among the youth vote that Kamala is hoping to attract, and they don’t like anyone who isn’t firmly behind Hamas in its ongoing war with Israel.
In a close election, that far-left contingent’s discontentment could mean the difference between getting elected and getting sent home.
Granted, the nomination of someone further to the left than Biden has abated things somewhat. And, Monday is hardly the climax of the 2024 DNC, so the number of protesters was on the low side, with the BBC reporting that “turnout appeared to be well below the tens of thousands that organizers had hoped for and short of the 15,000 they claimed turned out.”
What they lacked in numbers, however, they made up for in stridency — as evinced by the aforementioned chants:

Lovely. In addition, a group of protesters was arrested for dismantling the protective barrier around the convention and urging others to follow them in and flood the protected zone.

Inside the hall, meanwhile, the president told the audience that the protesters “out in the street, they have a point.”
“A lot of innocent people are being killed, on both sides,” he said.
Apparently, the contradictions didn’t occur to him:

But this is merely the chickens coming home to roost in the original home of DNC chaos, Chicago.
No, it’s not at 1968’s fever pitch — yet, anyway, and one doesn’t wish that country-rending violence upon any party, no matter how demented its aims may be. However, let this be an object lesson in the perils of trying to split the difference between good and evil. It’s like trying to divide any number by zero: You always end up with zero, no matter how you try and fudge it.
