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.

Wow, she's really bad at this while campaigning thing. Why not actually address the demands of her constituency?

Is it too hard to say 'I will stop supporting a country that is committing a genocide"?

It'll lose her votes and give Trump leverage. Welcome to politics.

Not a master strategy.
