Kamala Harris Faces Backlash from Democratic Party for Agreeing with Protester's Genocide Accusation Against Israel

Oct 19, 2024, 10:43 PM

Vice President Kamala Harris has sparked controversy by agreeing with a protester who accused Israel of genocide. During a recent public appearance, Harris responded affirmatively to the protester's claims, stating, 'What he’s talking about, it’s real.' This statement has led to significant backlash, with critics arguing that Harris does not support Israel and is misinformed about the definition of genocide. Unnamed staffers from Harris's team have released statements supporting Israel, which contrasts sharply with Harris's off-script remarks. This incident has highlighted the divisions within the Democratic Party regarding their stance on Israel, with some labeling Harris as the most radically left-wing nominee in modern history and suggesting that the Hamas wing could grow its influence within the party.
